Hello KK Please spell correctly when you make questions. 1. Nathaniel Hawthorne often complained of how (little) material his life provided for his fiction.
- Hello KK Please spell correctly when you make questions.
- 1.
- Nathaniel Hawthorne often complained of how (little) material his life provided for his fiction.

- Here it is used as a non count-noun and so the preceding modifier should be 'little', not 'few'.

I couldn't say, Paco, I think the question was not well formulated
It would make sense if , although she's mostly known for her prose writing, "she was also published in ..."
An alternative would be "... she also published...", but I don't know whether she's a publisher...
