Hello everyone! I’m glad to be part of the community once again and I have been enjoying reading through the discussions here. One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is how differently authors approach getting their books discovered by the right readers. There seem to be so many different paths, and I’m genuinely interested in learning what has actually worked for other writers. For those of you who have been through the process already, what’s one lesson you learned about building an audience that you wish you had known when you started? Looking forward to learning from everyone here and getting to know some fellow authors.

I’m David Moody — a Birmingham-based author and the writer behind the AUTUMN and HATER novels, as well as my latest release KEMBERTON. I’ve spent years creating stories across horror, thriller, and speculative fiction, building worlds, exploring ideas, and connecting with readers through my work. I joined this community to meet fellow writers, share experiences, learn from other storytellers, and be part of a group that loves creating new worlds and unforgettable stories. Looking forward to connecting with everyone here and seeing what amazing projects you’re all working on. Great to meet you!
