I'll review. My initial comments should be up within a few days. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
We'll start with the infobox, lead section, and "Early life and education".
Infobox
- File:Bekah Brunstetter at 18th Annual Pacific Playwrights Festival in 2015.jpg is appropriately licensed
- Keeping WP:INFOBOXREF in mind, try to cite content within article prose instead of here

- I recommend consolidating "screenwriter" and "playwright" into the collective term "writer" for occupation as this is a singular term that covers both fields

- How recent is this residence? It's hard to tell when no publish date is given in the used source, and I'd prefer something with one so it's easier to attribute the update.
- The source is her own professional bio, which she probably keeps up to date. Several sources mention that she lives in Los Angeles (e.g. [1] from 2017). So maybe the question is whether we just believe her and put an {{talk) 21:18, 1 June 2019 (UTC)]

Lead

- If anywhere, I'd mention nominations in article body instead of here; actual wins are more lead-worthy

Early life and education
- Can you be more specific on how many brothers she has? I only count three so far in one ref used, which would make "several" an exaggeration as that would imply five or more.
- "Three" it is. Done talk) 20:47, 1 June 2019 (UTC)]
- "Three" it is. Done
- I can't find anything that states or even suggests Mount Tabor High School in either citation
- The third sentence from the second citation:
After attending Mt. Tabor High School and UNC-Chapel Hill, Brunstetter moved to New York City to work on her master’s degree and to pursue her dreams.

- The third sentence from the second citation:
- Let's elaborate on how she changed paths from poetry to writing plays, specifically input from her professors in college
- Took a crack at this by splitting that paragraph and expanding the second half a bit with the source you suggested and another interview in The Daily Tar Heel. talk) 05:13, 2 June 2019 (UTC)]

Career
Early plays
- It would probably help to put "generally unconvincing" in quotation marks when this is an exact phrase used in The New York Times

- Let's include reviewers' names
- Done for this section, will do the same for other sections as we go through them. talk) 06:19, 9 June 2019 (UTC)]

- "less positive"..... I'd go with favorable so the word "positive" and its forms aren't used so repetitively

Expanding into screenwriting
- "theatre agent" → theater agent, use American spelling for an article on an American subject
- Done That looks like the only English variant spelling, not counting proper names and titles (e.g. American Theatre magazine, Alley Theatre, etc.) talk) 06:30, 9 June 2019 (UTC)]

Sorry, this update was definitely overdue. I'll still review in chunks though. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 06:01, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
The Cake and American Gods
- This doesn't mention Neil Gaiman or his book
- Done Added inline cite to another ref in the article ([2]) that discusses this specific relationship. talk) 04:24, 19 June 2019 (UTC)]

This Is Us (2016–present)
- No mention of when this series debuted?
- Done Rephrased to specify year of debut, which is already supported by cited source. talk) 04:27, 19 June 2019 (UTC)]

- Starting two consecutive sentences with "she" feels repetitive

- Done Fixed during removal of unsourced claim mentioned below.
- "has been credited as sole writer or co-writer on six episodes" isn't supported by either of the attributed citations
- Done Agreed. Claim pulled until someone finds sourcing for it. talk) 04:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)]
- Done Agreed. Claim pulled until someone finds sourcing for it.
- I couldn't find any mention of a specific episode name here, only a scene description
- Done I couldn't find it either. Looks like someone added that bit later based on watching the show, rather than following the source. Now the text matches the source. talk) 04:41, 19 June 2019 (UTC)]

Getting closer. Hopefully my next batch will be the last one. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Going to a Place Where You Already Are and later work
- "The play follows two couples who discuss whether heaven really exists as they confront health challenges and the possibility of dying"..... From that sentence, I could only find a discussion on heaven potentially existing, so either remove the couples/health details or add something that actually supports them. I should also note this doesn't delve so much into the debate over whether it exists.
- Done Used the DC Metro Arts source and wrote a more accurate summary of play's central story. talk) 00:04, 23 June 2019 (UTC)]

- Law of attraction should be singular; don't distort the quote with a plural
- Done Apparent typo fixed. talk) 06:41, 22 June 2019 (UTC)]
- Done Apparent typo fixed.
Personal life
- Seems kind of bare. Perhaps you could add something on how she met Morrison Keddie or how long they were together before getting engaged/married. Super short paragraphs like this are also discouraged per MOS:PARAGRAPHS as they make text look choppy (especially when there's a bunch of short ones in a row, which thankfully isn't the case here).
- Done Expanded a bit, though mostly by focusing on their collaborative work on Again and The Cake. Too much more would make it overly reliant on personal blog posts, I think. Perhaps she will be more forthcoming about personal details in future interviews. talk) 00:44, 23 June 2019 (UTC)]

Bibliography
- This title is discouraged as a vague name for sections per MOS:BIB.
- Done Changed to "Works". talk) 06:24, 22 June 2019 (UTC)]

References
- "I care Deeply", "Carolina Alumni Review", WXII-TV, Brit + Co, NPR, Vulture, Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, "American Theatre", "DC Metro Theater Arts", "The Interval", and CNN shouldn't be in italics

Overall
- Prose: Needs some touching up, especially regarding MOS:PARAGRAPHS
- Referencing: Not all references are properly formatted, and you need to ensure all content is supported by the citations attributed to it.
- Coverage: Personal life could use expansion
- Neutrality: No bias detected
- Stability: Looks good
- Media: Image used is A-OK
- Verdict: On hold for seven days starting now. That should be enough time to resolve my remaining concerns. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:56, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
