by Jenny Lee
For getting Anna K out to the world at large I’d like to thank my foreign agents and those who are publishing the foreign editions: Anthea Townsend, Michael Bedo, Harriet Venn, Claudia Young, Paul Sebes and Lester Hekking, Txell Torrent, Monica Martin, Ines Planells, Nynke de Groot, and Luna Wong.
And I wouldn’t be a good Hollywood writer and executive producer if I didn’t thank all those involved in helping Anna K go beyond the pages and onto the screen. My amazing executive producer team, who have been beyond supportive and amazing: Scooter Braun, James Shin, Drew Comins, and Scott Manson; special thanks to Jake Eagle and Chloe Borenstein-Lawee. Entertainment One, my studio: Jacqueline Sacerio, Pete Micelli, Pancho Mansfield, Mark Gordon, Kristen Barnett, Amanda Gerisch, Greg Clayman, Gary Gradinger, Sam Grodsky, and Michael Kagan. My Paradigm team: Zac Simmons, Doug Fronk, Kim Yau, Martin To, Sam Fischer, Tyler Mathews, Aja Marshall, and Courtney Jackson. My entertainment lawyer team: Jonathan Gardner and Molly Fenton, Roxana Soroudi and Maddie Silver.
As I started with my darling husband, I will end this long list by saying that a writer has no better companion then a dog, and my dog, Gemma Bunny Kloepfer, is the best. You and Doozy were the inspiration for Anna owning Newfoundlands, because you make my life so rich and grand.
Recommend Anna K. for your next book club!
