Veterans in Horror Spotlight coming this November

The HWA is going to be running a month-long Veterans in Horror Spotlight this November coordinated by HWA member and former Marine, David Rose. We are inviting any and all veteran members to join us. If you are a horror author, poet, or non-fiction horror writer (or writer of dark fantasy or other related genres) who is a military veteran (defined as a former service member of any uniformed, national military), or if you would like to nominate such an author, please send an email message to veterans@horror.org by September 30, 2022. In the message, please include: – The name of the author – Email, or other contact info for the author so that we can send them the interview questions. Please note, we will not be vetting authors’ backgrounds by asking for their DD-214 (or equivalent paperwork for non-US veterans). We are working on the honor system and trust authors already know full well what could happen if misrepresentations are discovered by readers. A vetting exception may occur, however, if someone claims to be a former SEAL, sniper, and former fighter pilot all at once (these things happen). Authors can and are encouraged to self-nominate.

Again, reach out at veterans@horror.org.
