Daniel Willcocks is an international bestselling author and award-nominated podcaster of dark fiction. He is one fifth of digital story studio, Hawk & Cleaver; co-founder of iTunes-busting fiction podcast, 'The Other Stories';’ CEO of horror imprint, Devil’s Rock Publishing; as well as the lead host of the 'Great Writers Share' podcast, and the co-host of the ‘Next Level Authors’ podcast

Willcocks is furiously passionate about all things story. He has written 40+ books in four years for himself and on behalf of ghostwriting clients. Dan now also provides book coaching services designed to help authors take the stories that they are dying to tell, and getting them out onto the page.

In this interview, we discuss why Daniel never published his first novel, how he created an accountability group of horror writers, what made him take the plunge into writing as a business, how he schedules creative writing, and why the process is more important than the results.
