Acknowledgments

Bestest. Ramadan. Ever. wouldn’t have been published without the support of many people … 

My agent Marlene Stringer took a chance on me. There aren’t enough words to thank her for what she’s done to launch my writing career.

I had the pleasure of working with acquisitions editor Brian Farrey and production editor Sandy Sullivan—their keen editorial eye not only made this book blossom, but I’ve grown as a writer under their care. Publicists Marissa Pederson and Steven Pomije also reached out to me, making this debut author feel at home. I’m fortunate to have the Flux team by my side.

The SCBWI Aventura Group has done wonders for my writing. They welcomed me with open arms and large doses of encouragement. Thank you Dr. Stacy B. Davids, Angela Padron, Ellen Slane, Jennifer Hill, Marjetta Geerling, Norma Davids, Pascale Mackey, Steven dos Santos, and Ty Shiver.
