Heart-felt thanks to some people who have really gone out of their way to help me onto the ‘writerly’ path by suffering various drafts of things: L. Gibb of Lonely Planet, Dr Rosaleen Love, Ms M. Minchinton at NEPS (and her professional poet friend who wishes to remain anonymous though she gave me more than enough info for me to figure it out).
Others who have offered constructive criticism out of sheer loyalty (or perhaps emotional blackmail…): R. Powell, L. Maher, Z. Langer, N. Vidal.
My dear Canadian cousin for indulging my consumerist greed, which is far too often, S. Jaipaul.
Again, ongoing thanks to Rob Hutton for pondering to my every technical whim despite being a madly busy person.
Also, much love to Makeup Diversity and Future of Faces - for all the kind words and support.
