About Daniel Willcocks
Meet the author
I'm Daniel Willcocks.
I only wanted to write one book.
That was it. I wanted one book on my bookshelf with my own name on it. A totem to show my newborn son that you can achieve any dream if you work for it.
Over ten years later, I’m now the author of over 70 books (including 50 novels across horror, fantasy, and post-apocalyptia), over fifty published short stories (included in anthologies amongst my writing heroes), a podcaster with over 12 million downloads across my network of shows, an international speaker who has shared the platform with some of the industry’s greatest talents, and an author coach who has helped dozens of authors see their dreams become reality, win awards, write millions of words, and find their tribe of insanely imaginative and creative peers.
And I'm still going.
The fire that was kindled with my first book has only grown brighter, and it is the goal of my career to share that flame with as many creatives as possible, to introduce readers to amazing new fiction, and to build a body of work that I can be proud of.
