Welcome to the Writers Chair Podcast

Welcome, wordsmiths and story seekers! In this very first episode of The Writer’s Chair, author and podcast host Daniel Willcocks invites you to pull up a seat for an honest, no-fluff introduction to this brand new show for writers of all stripes—especially those who like their fiction a little on the darker side.

Daniel shares:

• Why he’s launching this podcast now (after months of planning),
• What to expect from upcoming episodes,
• His journey from stage-play adaptations to publishing 70+ books,
• Lessons from running (and restarting) multiple writing podcasts over the last decade,
• And his personal mission to create the biggest online community for dark fiction authors.

This is a candid, unscripted look into the heart of a writer who’s spent 10+ years in the indie trenches—and is ready to bring you along for the ride.
