Many thanks to my wise and patient first draft readers Emma, Holly, Lorelei, and Sarah, and for the additional feedback by Leonard, Danielle, Kate, Miriam, Eliana and Edie, Tara, Patty, Eric, and Nora. So appreciate getting a kick-start courtesy of The Book Doctors and their fabulous Pitchapalooza event at Oblong Books & Music (best bookstore ever!). And thank you Erica Rand Silverman for your wisdom and support. To Aubrey Poole and the Sourcebooks team who helped bring My Year of Epic Rock to life, much gratitude. I’m so glad we’re in this together.
