I also got tons of feedback from extremely kind, patient early readers. A zillion thanks to Tempest Bradford and Jaymee Goh for sensitivity reads, and to Claire Light, Charlie Jane Anders, Meg Elison, Chris Palmer, Maggie Tokuda-Hall, and Katya Lopez for feedback during revision.
I owe pretty much everything to my amazing editor, Lindsey Hall, who read three separate drafts and improved the book immeasurably. Also thanks to Liz Gorinsky for first believing in the book, and to Devi Pillai for making it happen. And of course, thank you to my astounding agent provocateur, Laurie Fox.
A very special thank-you to Mike Burns for Flin Flon advice, and to Peter Burns for his stories about getting there (and beyond) by boat.
For helping me to survive my teens and twenties, thank you to Kathleen Hanna and Bikini Kill (and Le Tigre and Julie Ruin), Pauline Black and The Selecter, Alice Bag and The Bags, L7, Poly Styrene, Queen Latifah, and every other woman who yelled so loudly in my young ears that she drowned out my fear.
As always, I couldn’t have written this without the timeless love and support of Jesse Burns, Chris Palmer, and Charlie Jane Anders.
