InkWell Management

InkWell Management is the agency whose staff and support are recognized in the book’s acknowledgements. The thanks distinguish Catherine Drayton’s role as the author’s first and fiercest ally from the contributions of colleagues involved in early reading, editorial advice, and foreign rights.

Acknowledged Support

Catherine Drayton is singled out as the author’s agent and as an ally from the outset. The acknowledgements emphasize the strength of that support, describing gratitude to her as too extensive to be adequately conveyed by a list of synonyms.

Staff and Contributions

The wider InkWell Management staff are also thanked, particularly Masie Cochran, who read the book first, and William Callahan, whose editorial advice is described as invaluable. The agency’s foreign-rights squad—Liz Parker, Lyndsey Blessing, and Alexis Hurley—is recognized for its work. Together, these specific acknowledgements present the agency’s contribution as both personal advocacy and practical support for the book.
