In The Secret College, I mentioned the awesome mentors with whom I've had the privilege of working, including Ann Y.K. Choi, Dennis Bock, Danila Botha, Karen Connelly, Angel Di Zhang, Marina Endicott, Colin McAdam, Diane Terrana, Jessica Westhead, and Alissa York. 

​​

In addition to these mentors, I've also crossed paths with many authors, agents, publishers, and publicists, many of whom have left an indelible mark on me. The list below includes some of the wonderful people I've met. It is certainly not comprehensive, and I'm sure I've overlooked many more amazing people. As I'm about to turn fifty, I can totally play the age card for forgetting :-)

​

Regardless of whether I've remembered to include you in my list, thank you all for making my literary journey magical.

​​

P.S., The list is arranged in the order in which I met the people below. If you'd like to learn more about how our paths crossed and how they've made my literary journey magical, please don't hesitate to contact me.​​
