Thanks are due…

Often when I send out business correspondence, I feel the necessity to use the first person plural to refer to Library Juice Press and Litwin Books, even though I have no employees, strictly speaking, simply because it is what people expect from a business entity. But when I reflect on all the people who have helped me publish the ten books I have published and the half dozen more that are near publication, I realize that saying “we” is actually a lot more honest than saying “I.” In addition to authors, I have had help from a lot of people, doing graphic design, editing, typing, marketing, indexing, web work, layout, writing prefaces and forewords, and other things – not to mention giving me indispensable advice and helping me get deals done. Now that I’m approaching the end of year three I’d like to list a bunch of people whom I wish to thank publicly for their assistance, whether it was a big help or a small help. Thanks to all of you:
