A very special thanks goes out to the friends, family (family don’t end with blood!), and total strangers who bought Killer Content so I could write No Memes of Escape. Y’all put up with a lot from me in exchange for Odessa adventures and puggle pictures, and I’m grateful for all of you—especially Potassium, Liz, La, Ris, and Dare, who are always there for me, 24-7, “whether you like it or not.” Whether you boosted me on social media, texted me supportive messages in the middle of the night, or bought ten copies to give out to everyone (thanks Toni <3), you wonderful weirdos are the real heroes.
There’s a huge team behind this book—my very patient agent, James McGowan, at the BookEnds Literary Agency; my fantastic editor, Kristine Swartz; and the entire magnificent Berkley team. This includes cover design, page layout, meticulous correcting of my less-than-stellar grammar, the wonderfully talented audiobook production team, marketing, publicity, and a million other moving pieces from the distribution centers (hi, Stewy!!!) to the booksellers.
Last, but never least, for the absolutely amazing authors in the #Berkletes 2021 debut group that supported, entertained, enlightened, and encouraged me and Odessa—through a pandemic nonetheless!—here’s a very special :heart_eyes: emoji. #ILY
