Acknowledgments

We want to express our deepest gratitude to the following people, whose talents, encouragement, love, creativity, and passion have made up what we like to call: TEAM FLIRTEXTING.

To our family, for never doubting our dreams. Thank you for your tireless efforts of raising us to have high standards, so we don’t fall for every guy who sends a good flirtext.

Chris Berkenkamp, our Consigliere. Your expert advice kept us at home writing instead of out gallivanting the city. Thank you for your guidance and for keeping us on track!

Biggest thanks goes to our incredible agent, Sarah Dickman, whose support and cheerleading is what has made our book possible. You believed in our project from the beginning and because of you, the world will now know how to flirtext.

Ann Treistman: We are so thankful to have such a cool editor who helped turn our flirtexting ideas, stories, and woes into a beautiful and easy-to-read guide. Thank you for your patience, help, and all your hard work in making our book the best it can be.

Thanks to everyone at Skyhorse Publishing for believing in us and for working so hard to get our book out there. We are truly grateful for all you have done!

LeAnna Weller Smith: Thank you for making our book so stunning. Your designs brought us to tears.

Maria Ponce: You are a rock star photographer with ah-mazing talent! We are so grateful for all your beautiful photos. Thank you!

Our friend and PR pistol Melissa “Little Memphis” Baer. Thanks for looking out for us and for promoting FLIRTEXTING where it counts. Love you.

Matt Sugarman: Thanks for doing a sweet job of making sure all our boring legal documents are in order. You are awesome!

Katie Dox: Thanks for your help beautifying our first born idea and packaging it well.

A special thanks goes out to a few of our incredible family and friends, whose involvement in our book has been invaluable. You guys helped us “shut it down”: Courtney, Jenna, Erica, Candice, Mirelle, Peter, Lauren, Becca, Nisha, Anna, Jessica, Hillary, Jason, Marc, Nat, and Richard. We love you and are eternally grateful for your enthusiastic encouragement and generous support.

And to the rest of our wonderfully social friends who poured out their stories, life lessons, and amazing quotes to us, thank you! You all made this book better than we ever thought it could be. We heart you and owe you a beverage of your choice.

And finally, a great big thanks to all the hot boys of NYC and LA, who inspired us to the point we felt the need to write a book about it. Without you guys, none of this would have been possible.

Wink and Shotgun, Deb and Liv.
