I know I already posted something, but I’ve been having your book pop up in my mind all day, and I think it’s worth mentioning again how excited I am for you! Congratulations!!

Congratulations! It looks great.
I’m curious if you got paid for the sample you sent to them?

Phil Cullen

@TessaW thank you I'm away for the weekend, I will share some pics from the inside when I'm back.

Phil Cullen

@burvantill yep, they pay for samples. However because I got the gig I didn't ask for it. But before putting pen to paper they had agreed to pay for the sample, I think that's standard.

It was very reassuring to deal with such professional publishers as I've had back and forth email coverdations with other dodgy clients and money was always hard for them to talk about, these were great!

Phil Cullen

@KathrynAdebayo thank you so much! I love sharing excitement

@Phil-Cullen that’s great to hear. I was hoping you didn’t do it for free. I’m glad it worked out.
