Authors Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I thank my amazing agent Carole Jelen, who pushed for me to have the chance to write a proposal for this book; and Steve Hayes, senior acquisitions editor at Wiley, for giving me extra time to prepare a proposal and for accepting said proposal. Thank you two for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to write a For Dummies book on a product I adore. Thanks are also due to Kara Berman and Melissa Dingle Hood at Waggener Edstrom Worldwide for helping me with general questions and for getting me Windows Phone screenshots. A special shout out also to Samantha Kristine for providing me with the screen shot of the Nexus 7 version of OneNote with absolutely zero notice.

Secondly, Ive been an editor and sometime writer for John Wiley & Sons since March 1999 (then IDG Books Worldwide), and I wouldnt be writing this book if it werent for a lot of IDGB/Wiley folks whove believed in me and helped me grow as an editor and as a writer over the last 14 years. Specifically, thanks are due to Leah Michael, Kyle Looper, Jodi Jensen, Kathryn Bourgoine, Jade Leah Williams, Andy Cummings, the two Marys Mary Bednarek and Mary C. Corder, Mark Enochs, Nicole Haims, Katie Feltman, Cherie Case, Melba Hopper, Sharon Mealka, and Megan Saur.

As is usually the case with writers, many people who didnt help me write the book per se still helped me survive, stay centered, and were patient with me while I wrote and midwifed the book, and those people are due nods, as well. Specifically, thanks of course to my mother, Jacquelyn Arlene Cordoza, and my late father, John Howard Russell I wouldnt be me or here to write this book without you. Thanks also to my good friends Nancy Ciarrocchi and David Youhanna for all youve both done for me.
