Well done, Philippa – just brilliant news.

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

Update coming now!!

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! 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 🙂

I’d hate to think that, @richardb – the truth is that it’s not that hard to avoid what happened to me. If you pursue the agent route, most of it is irrelevant anyway, although you obviously have to do your research into any agents who offer to represent you. In 99% of cases, just being aware of the possible problems means you can avoid…[Read more]
