How Suspense Club Works for Writers
Suspense Club is built for writers who are tired of shouting into the void, done wondering if their story will ever find an audience, and ready to build something real. We’re not here to hand you a deal. We’re here to help you earn one.
Build a Fanbase While You Write
Why wait to be “discovered” when you can build your own hype train? Drop chapters as you go, grow your following in real time, and turn readers into ride-or-die fans who hang on every twist. You’re not shouting into the void anymore — you’re building a movement.
Get Feedback That Fuels Progress
Forget shouting into the algorithmic abyss. Suspense Club readers give real-time, chapter-by-chapter feedback that actually helps. Fix your pacing. Tighten your cliffhangers. Watch your story evolve — not in isolation, but with a crowd that cares.
Own Everything. Publish Anywhere.
No fine print. No lock-ins. No one holding your rights hostage. You stay in control — sell your book wherever you want, whenever you want. Leave tomorrow if you like (though you probably won’t). Your words, your royalties, your rules.
Monetize When You’re Ready
No monthly fees. No pay-to-play nonsense. When you hit 5,000 followers, you unlock fan memberships, pre-orders, and crowdfunding. At 10,000, you can launch your book on Amazon like The Martian. We take just 20% — compare that to the 80–95% cut the old publishing world takes. We only win when you do.
Rise Above the Noise
Mediocrity is the default setting on most platforms — and we smashed that button to pieces. Suspense Club is curated. No fluff. No romance sagas. No slow-burn Minecraft fan fiction. Just nail-biting, high-stakes thrillers that grip from chapter one. The better the stories, the better the readers. The better the readers, the more great writers show up. That’s the flywheel. And you’re at the center of it. Quality attracts quality — and we don’t compromise.
From Community to Career
Once you’ve got momentum, we help you level up — think interviews, publishing deals, and yes, even Hollywood. Our goal? Help you get published, seen, optioned, and adapted. Suspense Club is your launchpad from side hustle to story empire. We only make money when you do.
Why We Built Suspense Club for Writers
Because writing a book shouldn’t feel like building IKEA furniture… Blindfolded. With missing screws. While the manual’s in Swedish.
When I started writing Escape From Somalia, I knew I had something. A story with teeth. With fire. But the process? Brutal. No feedback. No readers. No way to tell if I was crafting a thriller… or just typing my way into a very heavy, very boring doorstop.
I was this close to quitting.
Then I stumbled on the story of Andy Weir, the brain behind The Martian.
No big-name publisher. No Hollywood agent. No six-figure advance.
Just a blog. And the guts to post his story one chapter at a time— inviting readers in, asking for feedback, and building something together.
