Good Girl : A Memoir (9781476748986) (40 page)

The many writers whose books, advice, and friendship supported
and inspired me during the creation of this manuscript: Dani Shapiro, Alysia Abbott, Leigh Newman, Wendy C. Ortiz, Jillian Lauren, Jen Sincero, Jennie Ketcham, Liz Prato, Sara Lippmann, and Darrin Strauss.

The communities where I learned so much and honed my writing, including GrubStreet, the Community of Writers at Squaw Valley, Writing Workshops Los Angeles, and Wellspring House.

To the many people I didn't have the space to name who also helped to get me here.
