Versatile Writer, Filmmaker and Editor
Seyi Sandra David’s journey into the writing world began at an early age. Despite publishers deeming her first novel, ‘Jesse, It’s You I Love,’ penned at thirteen, as too ‘mature,’ she remained undeterred. Her spirit unbroken, she pushed forward, completing her high school education with determination. Her thirst for knowledge led her to pursue a degree in English Language at the university.
After graduation, she secured a position at the local state newspaper, ‘People’s Advocate.’ Through diligence and dedication, she ascended the ranks, eventually achieving the esteemed role of senior correspondent attached to the State House of Assembly. Sandra’s academic pursuits didn’t stop there; she obtained a master’s degree in creative, digital, and professional writing with an exceptional Merit award, excelling in numerous modules.
Sandra’s talents extend beyond writing; she is also an accomplished filmmaker. Her inaugural documentary, ‘Chasing Humans,’ is a poignant piece aimed at dismantling stereotypes and unconscious racial biases plaguing young black men in London and the UK. The film’s premiere garnered acclaim, earning it a place as one of the standout productions at the London Mets Final Cuts film festival in June 2020.
Armed with years of experience in print and digital media, she assesses manuscripts and is integral in shaping the publishing landscape, identifying fitting manuscripts and spearheading new literary endeavours. Demonstrating her multifaceted skills, Sandra presently holds the esteemed title of Publishing Director at Arrow Gate Publishing, an independent literary house in London.
Her second documentary, ‘The Human Story,’ graced the digital screens of YouTube in 2021, adding another achievement to her growing repertoire. In addition to her filmmaking prowess, Sandra’s versatility shines through in her written works. Her debut fiction, ‘The Impossible President,’ penned in 2004, sheds light on the pervasive gender inequality that persists across the globe.
S.S. David’s narrative journey encompasses resilience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to challenging societal norms through the art of storytelling. She is a resilient writer, filmmaker, and editor, challenging norms through storytelling.
The book, set in Nigeria, tells the story of an inexperienced young woman in a misogynistic and conservative society where men dominate every sphere of operations and women have no business running the country’s affairs. The plot details the struggle of the female protagonist, Sharon Nwosu, and her fight against corruption, terrorism and the tragedies that haunt her at every turn. The novel celebrates womanhood and the ability to dream big and work hard towards achieving it. The second edition of the book will be out before Christmas 2023.
Sandra David established herself as a literary force with the publication of ‘The Feet Of Darkness.’ The novel sheds light on the struggles of a British scientist who finds himself embroiled in a plot that will change his life forever and the world. Published in 2007, Arrow Gate released the second edition in 2013.
Her latest work of fiction is a supernatural thriller titled ‘Cydonia: Rise of the fallen’, available wherever books are sold. Readers can buy directly here: https://arrowgatepublishing.com/store/. Readers can buy the Kindle and print editions on Amazon websites and other online retailers such as Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Book Depository, Waterstones and WHSmith. The paperback and Kindle edition of her new short story, ‘Tales Of Five Lies’, is also available on Amazon websites.
Sandra David has written several works of fiction, and the second edition of her novella, ‘Tales of Five Lies’ is available now.
CYDONIA: RISE OF THE FALLEN
” A mere thirty days…
… is what ex-priest Aaron Cohen has to stop a devastating attack on earth from elusive and ruthless forces, but events soon took an alarming turn. The Vatican came under attack when a demonic bloodhound under the command of Tyrus, Lucifer’s son, went on a rampage. They left destruction on their trail.
As events unfolded with alarming speed, Aaron Cohen’s life spiralled out of control, chased by forces beyond human comprehension; he embarked on an adventure to protect the Ark of the Covenant and the stones of fire from brutal forces intent on annihilating humanity. Set against an extraordinary and enigmatic church of St Mary, Axum in Ethiopia, Aaron fought with demons, escaped assassins’ bullets, and every attempt to halt impending doom seemed slimmer.
The novel is on sale worldwide.

Strangely, before I first read you blog I started to read Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie “The Thing Around Your Neck” first I didnt thought about it but isnt she from your country? What do you think of her? She seems very hyped. It would be interesting to read one of your books I truly love the title ” Tales of Five Lies” I also have God near within me and Im reluctantly psychic, so I can see your gifts whether you like it or not. 🙂
Wow! Thanks for that, you indeed have a discerning spirit, keep it up! Chimamanda is a great writer though I’ve not read any of her books just the blurbs, I’d wanted to read ”Half A Yellow Sun” but didn’t get round to it. Yes, she’s Nigerian and I think she is quiet popular if that’s what you meant by ”hyped” I hope you’ll read ”Tales Of Five Lies” and tell me your thoughts- by the way, it’s a psychological thriller so there are no angels…yet!!
Cheers-:)
Well a good story is a good story, you dont need angels for that 😉
No I don’t, though that’s the genre I love writing in, besides, I just want you to comment and you did! Ha ha!!!
Dont challenge me because I can summon very horrific creatures to roam around you..
😉
They won’t get far, will vaporise them at once! Nice chatting with you dear friend,
Cheers-:)
Goodnight! Cheers!
Sweet dreams-:)
