Tonya Cornish

Hey there!

I’m Tonya Cornish — founder and CEO of Thriller Book Lovers: The Pulse, a dynamic community of hundreds of book reviewers on Instagram and one of the most engaged thriller reader groups online. I also run a highly active Facebook and Instagram thriller community with 160,000+ members, where readers discover, discuss, and champion the hottest upcoming suspense novels.

My team and I have our fingers on the pulse of the thriller genre and know what gets readers excited — and talking. If you want your thriller elevated in front of the audience that loves thrillers, this is where it happens.

What I Bring to Uptales

I blend deep genre insight with a data-driven understanding of thriller audience engagement to help authors elevate visibility, connect with readers, and sharpen their author platforms. I also offer one-on-one coaching and speaking experiences that help authors navigate social media, community engagement, and audience growth with confidence.

I was a featured speaker at Thrillerfest on the Social Media Experts Panel and delivered a presentation on Inkers that equips authors with actionable strategies for promotion across social platforms.

My Approach

Social media today isn’t just about posting — it’s about connection, conversation, and impact. I help authors build meaningful engagement with readers who will support their work long beyond launch day.

Let’s Connect

Whether you’re gearing up to amplify your book’s reach or want personalized coaching to level up your social strategy, I’ll help you reach the readers who matter most.
