Phew indeed, Philippa – but so very pleased you survived it all – very well done.

It is such an emotional rollercoaster, isn’t it? So glad you came out of it on a high – well deserved. Really happy it’s all come together for you. x

Well done to the three of you! I’ll give these tales due consideration during the day and post the result by this evening.

Well done, Philippa – just brilliant news.

Congratulations, Phillipa. I’ve loved your short stories so I’ll look forward to your book release 😊

Wow, thanks for sharing, @daedalus. I’m pleased it’s resolved now, but after reading part one, I’ve a feeling things are going to get pretty sticky before we get to that point.

Thanks so much, guys! I’m just about to put up a blog post on the journey, in case any of you want to pore over the gruesome details…. 🙂

Well done Philippa!

Superb news Philippa, and no more than a writer of your calibre deserves. It’s really heartening to see Denizens getting good deals. Delighted for you, and can’t wait to see the final result

Terrific news, Philippa. Congratulations!

Just seen it on facebook – well done, Philippa! So pleased for you x

Another success for the self-edit alumnis!

Oh, though note: it’s not being published next month (phew!!!) but in February 2020.

Very interesting to read this, Daed. I’m looking forward to the next parts. Congrats on your honesty and willingness to share. It should be very helpful for all of us.

Well, to be honest I was already pretty leery of small indies after various horror stories I’ve heard. Also the amount of work involved puts me off. If I’m going to try at all it’ll be by the agent route.

Nonfic could work for me, as I am coming to the sad conclusion that I am better at telling an existing story than at making one up. As for your…[Read more]
