Founded in 2001, New England Horror Writers (NEHW) provides peer support and networking, with a relaxed and social mindset, for authors of horror and dark fantasy in the New England area. NEHW focuses on forming new friendships and supporting each other’s writing goals, as well as promoting the writing of New England authors.
NEHW is open to horror and dark fiction writers in all mediums (novels, short stories, screenplays, poetry, etc.) as well as editors, illustrators, agents and publishers of horror and dark fiction in the New England area.
NEHW activities include book signings and group panel discussions at conventions, as well as purely social gatherings. With members ranging from Maine to Connecticut, NEHW events take place in varying locations, making it easier for different members to meet with each other.
About the Horror Writers Association (HWA)
While NEHW is a regional writers group, we do have ties to the Horror Writers Association (HWA).
The HWA (www.horror.org) is a worldwide organization of writers and publishing professionals, dedicated to promoting the interests of writers of horror and dark fantasy. Its mission is to encourage public interest in and foster an appreciation of good horror and dark fantasy literature. To that end, they offer the public areas of their website; they sponsor or take part in occasional public readings and lectures, and maintain an official presence at many fan-based horror and fantasy conventions, such as the World Fantasy Convention and the World Horror Convention. Note that the national HWA organization does require members to meet specific publishing standards and pay annual dues to qualify for membership.
