Читать книгу Adios To All The Drama - Diana Rodriguez Wallach - Страница 5

Many thanks to my amazing agent, Jenoyne Adams, for all of her support with this series and for always calming my nerves. I’d like to thank Jenoyne’s wonderful team, specifically Can-dice Smith, Kelsey Adelson, and Taylor Martindale, for their always thoughtful edits.

Thank you to my editor, Kate Duffy. This series truly would not exist if it weren’t for her belief in Mariana! And thank you to Kate’s assistant, Megan Records, for making the publishing process smoother.

Thank you to everyone in Philadelphia who has reached out to help me promote this series, including: Gail Bower, Jennifer Rodriguez, Jenee Chizick, Bob Mulvihill, Philadelphia Academies, The Lutheran Settlement House, Barnes and Noble in Rittenhouse Square, Head House Books, Mixto Restaurant, and the many school districts in the Delaware Valley including my alma mater, Ridley.

A special thanks goes to all of my Ridley Girls. If I didn’t have such great lifelong friends from high school, it wouldn’t be so easy to write about those years.

Thanks to the Wallachs for showing such excitement for my work, and a very special thank-you to Paula for being a wonderful editor and mother-in-law.

Thank you to my siblings, Natalie and Lou, for talking up my books to every colleague you meet. I hope I can return the favor someday. And I’d like to give a special thank-you to my parents for everything they’ve given me, including my drive to pursue this career. Your support and love mean so much.

I’d especially like to thank my husband, Jordan, for all of the work he has done to help make this dream a reality. This includes everything from building my website, to calling reporters, to contacting school districts, to driving me to every bookstore in the Philadelphia area, to being my first editor, to being pleasantly patient while I’m in “writing mode,” and for simply believing in me with your whole heart. If it weren’t for your love and support, I would not have gotten as far as I have. I love you very much.
