On 15 June 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Elisabeth Hirsch to EC Stilson. The result of the discussion was moved.

Article name

I am curious as to why the article is named Elisabeth Hirsch when she is referred to as Elisa Stilson Magagna and EC Stilson in the opening paragraph and then Stilson throughout? Oronsay (talk) 07:51, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(belatedly) good question. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The name Elisabeth Hirsch was Elisa Stilson Magagna's pen name for a short period during the early days of the author's blog. EC Stilson is the author's current pen name and the article should be renamed. 108.7.69.196 (talk) 18:01, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Self-published books as sources

I suspect that the majority of this author's books are self-published and the content of this article should be verified. 108.7.69.196 (talk) 18:04, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wayman Publishing

In 2011 Stilson founded Wayman Publishing. There is no source for this and not much of a trace of it in the Web Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20210309152318/http://waymanpublishing.webs.com/ 108.7.69.196 (talk) 18:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Literati Publications

It states that she is a founder of Literati Publications, but this has no source. 108.7.69.196 (talk) 19:50, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

It appears that the entire bibliography for this author consists of self-published books. 108.7.69.196 (talk) 20:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of her followers question that she has terminal cancer

There is a group of her followers on Reddit who believe that she does not have terminal cancer due to lack of evidence:

Elisabeth Hirsch → EC Stilson – All of the author's books are published under the name EC Stilson.
