We owe huge thanks to all of our contributors and fans. We received thousands of submissions for this popular topic, and we spent months reading all of them. Our editors Crescent LoMonaco and Laura Dean read all of them and narrowed down the selection for Associate Publisher D’ette Corona and Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Amy Newmark.
Susan Heim did the first round of editing, D’ette chose the perfect quotations to put at the beginning of each story, and Amy edited the stories and shaped the final manuscript.
As we finished our work, D’ette Corona continued to be Amy’s right-hand woman in working with all our wonderful writers. Barbara LoMonaco and Mary Fisher, along with Elaine Kimbler, jumped in at the end to proof, proof, proof. And yes, there will always be typos anyway, so feel free to let us know about them at webmaster@chickensoupforthesoul.com, and we will correct them in future printings.
The whole publishing team deserves a hand, including our Senior Director of Marketing Maureen Peltier, our Vice President of Production Victor Cataldo, and our graphic designer Daniel Zaccari, who turned our manuscript into this beautiful, entertaining book.
