Nominating for deletion. I believe this to be a vanity page for self-promotion of this blogger. His only possible claim to notability is a self-published book that was reviewed by his local hometown newspaper.
The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.
The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
Certainly none of the preceding apply in this case.

Delete The book award isn't notable. The Midwest Review isn't notable it's basically a review mill. The Durango review is reliable but a local source, and one review isn't enough for #4 (prefer 3 to 5 reviews depending on source quality). The film would be notable, but it appears stalled. --

What makes an award notable or un-notable?

Well as you can see in the history of
Eric_Hoffer_Award, this award is so non-notable that its was deleted a while back. Awards for notability purposes are typically the large ones like Pulitzer or Nobel. Per
WP:ANYBIO "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor". Eric_Hoffer_Award is not well known or significant among literary awards. --

Delete - The coverage is insufficient to establish notability. Having one's book optioned is no guarantee that it will ever be turned into a film. --

WP:AUTHOR #3 requires multiple book reviews, and normally of a national media rather than local sources. See comment above re: the award. --
