You need to supply the following information about this novel:

1. genre (mystery, adventure, romance, historical, etc.)
2. author
3. publication date
4. other relevant information
5. other books by this author

ok

but i need help on wat i should include in the background info
and also wat historical context is and wat i have t metion in it?
for example my novel is we are all welcome here by elizabeth berg

Read through several of the articles in here for background and historical information:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=%22we+are+all+welcome+here%22+by+elizabeth+berg&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

I tried looking up the title and the author's name in Wikipedia (because they often have really good links at the bottom of each article), but all it lists for Elizabeth Berg is a rock guitarist! Is that the same person?

The question is asking for information about a novel, specifically its genre, author, date of publication, and other relevant background information such as the setting and historical context. Additionally, the question also asks for information about other books written by the same author. It seems like the person who asked the question wants to understand how to gather this information.
