Well done, Philippa – just brilliant news.

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

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 🙂

That’s excellent news and very much deserved. Congratulations, Philippa! x

Well done Philippa!

Well done, Philippa. I don’t remember reading much, if any, of your writing, but I do remember how perceptive and constructive your comments have been on mine, so I’m hardly surprised.

Congratulations Philippa!!

I can’t wait to read it. Sounds super.

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.
