HWA Approved Publisher List

PLEASE NOTE: The Horror Writers Association will consistently evaluate its list of publishers. As more publishers are reviewed and approved, they will be added.Approved publishers meet HWA's professional standards of good business practice and fair treatment of authors. The books published by the publishers on this list currently qualify for applications for Affiliate and Active Status membership. However, this list should not be considered a blanket endorsement or recommendation of any particular publisher. The list is under constant review and subject to change.To be sure of the current status of a publisher, or to ask about adding a publisher to our list, please contact the National Office.

Those publishers that can help a writer make either active or affiliate have an [AC/AF] designation next to their name. Those who can help HWA members receive an affiliate status have the designation [AF]. Elsewhere on our site, we have a discussion of what constitutes active and affiliate members.
