No thanks is good thanks

On BlackTable.com, critic Emily G. pens a no-nonsense guide for authors preparing an acknowledgment page. No namedropping, no thanking dead people and deities, no hierarchical lists, and absolutely no nicknames. The moral of the story? “I just want to plead [with] anyone out there who might be about to publish a book to have pity on the world, look out for your own best interests, and keep your acknowledgments spare or nonexistent. Your readers, trust me, will be thanking YOU.”
