Precious Ugly Book Launch at The William

Celebrating the release of Precious Ugly at The William in New York City. Photos and highlights from the novel’s NYC book launch.

There are quite a few people I want to thank for bringing Precious Ugly into the world.

7.13 Books, and my editors, Leland Cheuk, John Madera, and Mysia Haight.

I also want to thank Emi Battaglia, Michael Asen and Charlotte Holster and Susie Stangland, without whom no one would know that Precious Ugly exists.

A special thank-you to Cindy Kanusher and Melissa Jeltsen for joining me in conversation tonight and to Caitlin Bea and Miracle Jones for their support.

And last, but certainly not least, my family, in particular, my partner, Rand—my love, my best friend, and my extraordinarily patient first reader—who is also a fierce party planner.

Precious Ugly is available now at your local bookseller and online.
