The Midnight Lie Page 30

by Marie Rutkoski


  The poem Nirrim reads in the printer’s workshop is (of course) by Sappho.

  I love having FSG, and Macmillan at large, as a publishing home. Joy Peskin and Trisha de Guzman have been so insightful and supportive as my editors. I thank them and the entire Macmillan team, especially Jen Besser, Beth Clark, Molly Brouillette Ellis, Teresa Ferraiolo, Kathryn Little, Kelsey Marrujo, John Nora, Janine O’Malley, Taylor Pitts, Melanie Sanders, Janine Barlow, Anne Heausler, Mary Van Akin, Allison Verost, and Ashley Woodfolk. Lisa Perrin gave me a gorgeous cover. My agents, Charlotte Sheedy and Alexandra Machinist, have shaped my career and books in profound ways, and have always been there for me.

  My readers impress me every day with their enthusiasm and open hearts. You are what made me want to write this book.

  My last thanks are to Eve Gleichman, for everything you’ve given me. I am so grateful for you.
