Great Stories Are Buried.We're Changing That.

"Some of the most valuable experiences I've had, as a writer, are the one-on-one story workshops Thomas has run with me. He personally reviewed my outline, helped me sharpen my opening hook, and guided me through applying the "10 Rules of Suspense Storytelling" to my chapters. His mentorship has been generous, detailed, and completely focused on helping writers improve. As someone who has struggled to find constructive, genre-specific feedback, Thomas' support has been game-changing. He gives his time freely, and I truly believe that he wants writers to succeed. That's rare. Thomas created a private WhatsApp group where we can ask questions, post updates, and get feedback from fellow authors. It's become an incredible space for learning and creative motivation. We are not just isolated writers anymore—we're a community."

"I have worked with Thomas three times over the last month and a half: two in group sessions, and once in a one-on-one workshop. Each time I have felt the passion and enthusiasm he has for the Suspense Club program, wanting to help me not only become a better story teller but also a published author. He helps us come up with hooks, plan out the story, and work to publish the work for hopefully many people to see. Right now I am currently working with him to write a piece that should feature on the website within the next few months. Finding this group has been a wonderful experience for me, as it has put me with other new writers interested in developing their stories and making them as powerful as possible. I have not only learnt new tools for my writing, but also created ties with fellow authors to create a new audience."

"Having attended workshops and 1-to-1 mentorship sessions with Thomas, I can attest to the value provided by this project. Not only are the sessions informative and provide a unique perspective, with a lot of practical takeaways, but the Suspense Club idea - consistent development via a community of readers and writers in a curated context - is something innovative and much-needed in the world of writing. The focus on thriller/suspense/horror enables the initiative to have a clear focus, and the curation and selection process that the writing undergoes ensures that quality, promising writers are able to develop their skills in a reader-friendly manner which I have no doubt will prove popular. In an industry which is difficult to break into, Suspense Club provides a unique approach which is risk-free to writers, and enables less confident writers to share their writing in a way which will enable them ultimately to refine their work before approaching agents and publishers with a proven reader base."

"My story is currently featured on the Suspense Club website, which showcases emerging voices in suspense, horror, mystery, and thriller writing. Thomas has personally curated and edited the stories, and made the entire experience incredibly professional—from the feedback process to the publishing of our chapters online. The site itself is reader-focused and beautifully laid out. It gives writers like me a platform to test our stories, build an audience, and get real-time feedback before attempting traditional publishing. It also makes us feel like our work is being taken seriously—something hard to find as a new author."
