special thanks
Named appreciation section
Special thanks is a phrase used to single out particular people for gratitude, usually in acknowledgments or credits.
It implies these individuals deserve recognition beyond the standard thanks—perhaps for extraordinary help or personal support: Special thanks to my editor, who believed in this project from the start.
The phrase appears in book acknowledgments, award speeches, and film credits.
