đ¤â¨ Get to Know Me + Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, and welcomeâI am so truly glad youâre here. đ¤
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and also invite you to share your story, because this space is not just about learningâitâs about connection, growth, and building something meaningful together.
My name is Jessica Ann Disciacca, and Iâm a dark fantasy author, world-builder, and the co-founder of Dark Flame Society, where I create immersive literary events and opportunities that support authors, artists, and creatives.
My writing journey began back in high school, but I officially wrote my first book in 2019 called The Morn Series. That first draft came in at over 350,000 words (yes⌠it was a lot đ
), and I remember feeling completely overwhelmed by the editing process. Instead of pushing through, I set it aside and started something newâAwakening the Dark Throne.
I wrote that book in just two weeks, and in 2024 it was picked up by a publisher. While that experience taught me so much, I quickly realized that traditional publishingâat least with certain publishersâwasnât the right fit for me. Thatâs when I fully stepped into the indie author world.
From there, I dove in completely. I took classes, studied everything I could, learned through trial and error, and built my process from the ground up. My first year, I published four books. My second year, two moreâand this year, Iâm publishing my seventh.
Now, my passion is helping other authors navigate this journey with more clarity, confidence, and support than I had in the beginning. Through my books, events, and communities like this one, my goal is simple:đ to help you grow, be seen, and succeed as an author.
⨠Now itâs your turn⌠I would love to get to know you! Drop a comment below and share:
đ What are you currently working on?
âď¸ Are you writing your first book or have you already published?
đĽ What genre do you write in?
đŻ What is your biggest goal as an author right now?
đ What is one thing youâre currently struggling with or want to learn?
And if you feel comfortableâtell us something fun about you too!
This is a space where you are supported, where your work matters, and where you donât have to figure it all out alone. Iâm so excited to build this with you. đ¤đĽ
