Arch-Conspirator(30)



Thank you to Lindsey Hall for your enthusiasm and wisdom and book-induced despair (but like, in a good way). Joanna Volpe, for always being instantly on board every time I randomly appear in your inbox with new dreams.

Thank you to the entire team at Tor, especially: behind-the-scenes wizardry from Rafal Gibek, Dakota Griffin, Steven Bucsok, Rachel Bass, and Aislyn Fredsall; marketing and publicity pizzazz from Sarah Reidy, Renata Sweeney, and Emily Mlynek; detail-oriented reading from Lauren Hougen, Su Wu, and Lauren Riebs; exterior and interior beauty courtesy of Greg Collins, Katie Klimowicz, and Pablo Hurtado de Mendoza; and captains of various ships Eileen Lawrence, Lucille Rettino, and Devi Pillai.

New Leafers! Jordan Hill, for your support and your keen eye. And of course Meredith Barnes, Emily Berge-Thielmann, Jenniea Carter, Katherine Curtis, Veronica Grijalva, Victoria Hendersen, Hilary Pecheone, and Pouya Shahbazian for all the work you do on all my books.

Kristin Dwyer, for continuing to crush it, and also, all the Dune GIFs a gal could ask for.

Adele Gregory-Yao, for keeping me on track. Elena Palmer, for your thoughtful feedback.

Nelson, for immediately reading Antigone when I slapped it on your desk last year, signaling your willingness to walk with me down all the weird paths.

My family and friends, for always cheering me on.

Robert Bagg, for my very first translation of Antigone, and Anne Carson, for the one that reignited my interest.

I’ve been racking my brains trying to figure out which teacher, specifically, introduced me to this play in high school … and I’ve come up empty. But to them: thank you for fostering my love of it.

And finally, S, for telling me “Write it!” … because otherwise I wouldn’t have.
