Grace Reading Series

I kinda vaguely remember telling Anne Ishii to get a bass guitar that sounds like Cher, but it's probable that I did so given the frequency she feeds me ridiculous candy and whiskey late at night in the West Village. I am so lucky to have her and Miss Jessa getting my back--as This Is Not Chick Lit was born over the past year these two have been an inspiration as far as what the future of publishing looks like and how to keep getting the substantive books to the people who want them. There are too many other inspirations to name here too but our own Emberly Nesbitt and my amazing hotshot editor at Random House Julia Cheiffetz and the always innovative Felicia Sullivan and the marketing and shoe and poetry guru Miss Meghan are ones to watch: I can't wait to see what brews up in these imaginations over the next few years.
