HarperCollins

HarperCollins appears in the acknowledgments as the publisher associated with two people thanked for distinct forms of support during the book’s creation: editor Hope Innelli and Casey Kait. Their contributions frame the organization not through its publishing history or structure, but through the practical, personal work behind the finished manuscript.

Editorial Support

Hope Innelli, identified as the author’s editor at HarperCollins, is thanked for encouragement, good humor, and editorial support. The acknowledgment gives particular weight to her reassurance when the author feared the book might never be finished, presenting editorial work as both professional guidance and sustained morale-building.

Deadline Support

Casey Kait, also associated with HarperCollins, is thanked for cheerful emails and phone calls whenever the deadline approached. Her role is described through repeated contact at moments of pressure, complementing Innelli’s editorial guidance with timely encouragement as the work moved toward completion.
