As someone who's been in publishing for 15 years (a Publishing Crone if you will), a reminder that your debut year can be rough and brings up all kinds of emotions and big feelings, and the absolute best way to get through it is supporting and being supported by your peers.
Casey was a badass and she continues that legacy with her celebration of life. If you are able to, please consider donating in her honor to eliminate medical debt.

to celebrate my life, I've arranged to buy up others' medical debt and then destroy the debt. I am so lucky to have had access to the best medical care at @MSKCancerCenter and am keenly aware that so many in our country don't have access to good care. https://t.co/8gAJm5agcp
