When I started The Bright Sessions back in 2015, I could never have anticipated what it would become. It was meant to be an experiment, a way to explore a new-to-me form with some actors I admired, a chance to stretch my legs as a writer. All these years later, and the world of Dr. Bright and her patients has become my entire world, a world that so many people have joined me in, both as collaborators and listeners. It was never my creation alone and there are so many people who need to be thanked for helping me make this story.

To the actors who first filled the world of The Bright Sessions with their voices: Julia Morizawa, Anna Lore, Charlie Ian, Ian McQuown, Andrew Nowak, Alex Marshall-Brown, Phillip Jordan, and Alanna Fox—thank you all for coming along on this journey with me. And thanks most of all to Briggon Snow and Alex Gallner, who were the first people to give voice to Caleb and Adam and give them life. Hearing your voices in my head made this book possible. An enormous thanks to Mischa Stanton and Evan Cunningham, who create the auditory landscape of The Bright Sessions and who inspire me every day.

To Matthew Elblonk, for seeing something in my writing and always believing in me. I’m so grateful to have an agent that so deeply understands me, and even more grateful to call you my friend.

To Ali Fisher, who made having an editor the opposite of the scary thing I feared it would be. You’ve made my writing so much stronger, made me smile with your notes, and related to my Fannibal tendencies. There’s no one I’d rather ride with in the Reaper’s War.

To all the people who made me love reading in the first place, especially T. A. Barron and Seann Alderking, who put fantasy books in my hands when I was a child and expanded my universe infinitely outward.

To the communities of people that have held me up: my New Year’s gang, FTH, my Glow Up Crew, my Time Stories team. Thank you for sending me memes and giving me joy when I got buried in work. And a deep, heartfelt thanks to the audio drama community—especially Jeffrey Cranor, Joseph Fink, and all of Night Vale—for the paths you’ve paved, the inspiration you’ve provided, and the kindness you’ve shown me.

To Brendon Urie, for giving me music for fifteen years. You took me from my own emo phase all the way through writing Adam into existence. Neither of us would be who we are without you.
