Description

The Writer's Chair is your all-access seat to honest conversations about writing, craft, and the creative life.


Hosted by author, publisher, and podcaster Daniel Willcocks, each episode pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to build a writing life — from the first draft to the finished book, and everything in between. Whether you write horror, thriller, literary fiction, or something that defies a label, this is a show about the work. The doubt. The discipline. The long road of making something worth reading.


Expect raw truths, hard-won lessons, and the kind of unfiltered conversation that only happens when writers talk honestly about what this life really looks like.
