Our Simon and Schuster Gallery family is as wonderful as ever: Louise Burke, Jen Bergstrom, Carolyn Reidy, the ever-magical Kristin Dwyer, Theresa Dooley, Melissa Bendixen, Jen Robinson, Liz Psaltis, Diana Velasquez, John Vairo, Lisa Litwack, Jean Anne Rose, Steph DeLuca, Ed Schlesinger, and Abby Zidle. Working with each of you makes us feel like we’ve just consumed about seven liters of bubbly stardust. Now we can fly!
Team CLo wouldn’t be what it is without the beta reading, pep talks, patient ear, and editorial hand of Erin Service, the prereader eyes of Tonya Irving, the social media powerhousing of Lauren Suero, and the graphics of Heather Carrier. Please don’t leave us because we are really terrible at all of these things and you women are very, very good at them.
We always forget to thank the Google for the help with bartending information or fishing details or places to have public sex in New York, so a retroactive thanks to the Google for the past fourteen books and all the behind-the-scenes help. High fives!
Our families know the drill now and can recognize Deadline Face with barely a glance in our direction. We can’t decide whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but thanks to each of them anyway for learning how to manage a creative personality in the house. We love you guys so, so much.
To the author community, thank you. You know what it means to have this sort of group for support, and we are just incredibly grateful for your friendship, and proud of each of your successes.
And, lastly, to each other: because it’s a daily kind of love, there’s nothing here that we can’t say better on the phone, or in person, or on text, or via email, or over chat, but to imagine doing this with anyone else feels impossible. Left and right, forever.
