I made the long list for the Ink Tears Short Story Competition 2018.

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

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! Having read a fair few of your short stories, I must say I’m really looking forward to reading this.
I also echo what Richard said about your perceptive and constructive comments. Always so generous with your help and expertise, Philippa.
Congratulations!

Congratulations! Well deserved 🙂

Fantastic news! Congratulations!!

Well done Philippa!
