Ann Angel for reading my very first ma.n.u.script and showing me what to look for when self-editing.
Sarah Jane Jaramillo for the beautiful photography portraits.
Kelly, TS, Hannah, Steph-who were my cheerleaders, outline readers, and playlist givers.
And to the real Roaan Recklit for every nugget of inspiration I"ve taken from you. But especially for knowing I could do this, even though I always threatened to quit.
Write on, like.
