A few extra notes from Jen:
I'd like to thank my agent, Holly Root, for always having my back and being a voice of gentle wisdom in Crazy Publishing Land. To my (happily) ever-expanding writing community: it's such a privilege to share shelf space (and, in some instances, crepes) with you amazing people, especially my friends in SCBWI-NE, in OneFourKidlit, in Binders, and at the Writer's Loft. My family gets lumped in here, but in truth, you guys are the best and biggest part of my life, and I have mad love for you all. But you know that.

And a little more from Gail:
A great big thank-you to my most fabulous agent, Julia A. Weber, for responding to all my crazypants, six-paragraph e-mails with simple, thoughtful responses that somehow magically make me step back, take a breath, and realize that everything really is going to be okay. Thank you for believing in everything I write. There is not enough cake in the world! Another thank-you to the ladies of Team Weber; the LL&N critique group; everyone in Midsouth SCBWI, Fearless Fifteeners, and Binders; my nonwriting friends who remind me there is a world outside of books; and everyone at St. John's. Most important, to my family and especially my daughterâI love you all! Thank you for your patience and unwavering support.
