Description

The Writer’s Chair is your all-access seat to honest conversations with the minds behind dark and dangerous stories. Hosted by bestselling horror author and award-winning podcaster Daniel Willcocks, this show peels back the curtain on the world of publishing — from indie to trad, and everything in between.


Whether it’s horror, thriller, dystopia or the strange and unsettling, you’ll hear from writers who live in the shadows. Expect raw truths, hard-won lessons, industry insight and the kind of unfiltered talk that only happens when dark minds get together over a glass of something strong.
