I'd want to dedicate my book to my favorite English professor. He encouraged me and was such a good inspiration. I'd want him to know that he does an amazing job, and that's how I'd do it.

My husband, definitely. Thanks to him I developed a great sense of critique in all areas of my life, therefore, I know I'd be writing something unique.
But I'm not a writer, so got nothing to dedicate to anyone :P

I know that if/when I ever publish my first book, it will be to my dad. He was the only one for years who gave me any encouragement about aspiring to be a writer, has paid for multiple writing conferences, and told me that it was okay to be an english major when I was told that I would be better off doing pretty much anything else.

I am currently writing a novel, at my fiancé's prodding. I started one before, but I scrapped it. I have a lot of beta readers, and I would acknowledge them, but I would dedicate it to my fiancé, for believing in me, and always reading the copies I sent him, even though he doesn't like to read.

My amazing husband, the teachers in high school and college who never doubted me and encouraged me to do and become better than I believed I could be, and my close friends and loving family.

The book I'm currently working on will be dedicated to my husband, and "children at heart" or those who never lost that childlike sense of wonder and curiosity. I am one of those people and that has contributed more to my writing than anything else.

I use to think this an ex co worker becuase he gave me inspirational books to read and they really encouraged me to get back into writing, but now probably my friend that helped me get my book published and he also illustrated it for me.

I would dedicate any book I write to my mom. She's been so supportive of me throughout my whole life and she's the only one that constantly wants to read the things I write.
