Enhance your literary presence by winning an award!
With Halloween almost upon us, scribes of the spooky genre are eager to flaunt their writers-wares by entering the Horror Writers Association (HWA)’s Bram Stoker Awards. The advantage of doing so, offers authors the opportunity to engage a wider audience and establish their presence in the ever growing literary market.
The relevance of entering a horror writing competition during the Halloween month is obvious and the benefits well worth the effort. Past winners of this coveted prize include such masters of “dark literature” as Peter Straub, Stephen King, Thomas Harris, and Clive Barker. Good company to count yourself amongst!
