Hi Meredith! How did you get involved in "(Don't) Call Me Crazy"? Also, when you work on a collaborative book, so you interact at all with the other authors? Thanks!

It's been a bit since I wrote that essay, so I had to check my email archives, but I think Kelly Jensen (who is great!) reached out to me because I'd overshared about mental health on Twitter or maybe there was something about me being a loon in the If I Was Your Girl author's note--long story short, she learned I Live With Mental Illness, reached out to see if I wanted to participate, and I did!
My experience with anthologies has been that you really only talk to the editor, and once all is said and done unless you live nearby or end up at the same promotional events, you probably won't meet the other authors outside email and social media. I can't imagine the work of editing one of these things, honestly!

Meredith Russo:
So I am straight and was looking for books and your title piqued my interest. Saying that I really enjoyed it. I could relate to some of the characters in not understanding Amanda fully and having questions about her. I loved that her mom supported her through it all. I could only imagine how hard it is to go through all that and not fully understand what's going on but to have support must help. ?

I find your book to be exceptionally well-written. I'm trans myself and reading this book was a very emotional experience for me. It's very powerful, with a lot of joy but also at times, challenging. How would you respond to readers who say they were often sad or depressed for not being as beautiful/young/etc as Amanda?
