HWA Dues Payment Form
HWA dues are collected annually during the months of January and February. If you are accessing this page from the nav bar link in the Members Only area of the site any time after April 1, then your dues are paid and you are in good standing.
You may use this form to renew your membership at any time. But please note the following items concerning the timing of your renewal:
- After January 31, your payment is officially late, but is still payable without reapplication. If you have an email address on file with us, you will receive a second dues notice via email. If not, you may receive a paper second notice.
- After March 1, if we have still not received your renewal, you will be removed from good standing. This means that, although you are still technically a member of HWA, your access to HWA services will be suspended until your dues have been paid. (You will receive no further HWA mailings or emailings, your name will be removed from the HWA Directory, and your access to the "Members Only" web site will be withdrawn.)
- After September 1, if your dues remain unpaid, you are no longer a member of HWA. After this time, if you were a "Provisional Affiliate," you can't rejoin until you have met the current requirements for Affiliate membership.
If you are a returning member looking to renew or rejoin, please note that proration does not apply to anyone who has been a member within the past two years. If you fit that description, you must pay full annual dues in order to reactivate your membership, regardless of today's date.
Your electronic payment will be submitted to HWA's current Treasurer at treasurer@horror.org.
To pay your dues, please follow these steps:
1. Determine Your Amount Due
Please find your paper dues notice. Your amount due appears in the box in the lower right-hand corner, marked "Renewal amount."
If the amount in the box does not match one of the standard amounts on the payment form below, or you can't find your dues notice and you believe your amount due differs from all the options below, please contact HWA's Treasurer at treasurer@horror.org.
2. Check Your Data
Next, please check your dues notice or your HWA Directory entry (http://www.horror.org/private/memdir-alpha.htm) to make sure the contact information we have on file for you is correct.
If it's not, or if you have moved recently and have not yet notified us, please go to http://www.horror.org/private/coaform.asp to fill out and submit a change of data form. If you are paying by regular mail, simply mark the changes on your dues notice and return it with your payment.
If you have trouble getting into the Members Only area, contact HWA's webmaster, Steve Dorato, at webmaster@horror.org.
3. Make Your Payment before February 15.
If it's after February 15th, you can still renew your dues using the electronic payment form on this page or the instructions below. But please remember that after March 1, you will be removed from good standing and your services will be suspended. We offer two options for paying dues:
- To pay your dues online using a credit card and our secure server, simply fill out and submit the form further down this page.
- To pay your dues by regular mail, please get your paper dues notice or print out the dues mailing form and send it with a check or money order drawn in US funds and payable to Horror Writers Association, or your credit card info and signature to:
