The Winner of the 2009 Ben Chapman Award of Excellence goes to... Joseph McGee!

Congratulations go out to the family of the late Joseph McGee, author of 'the Reaper'. Joe won by a landslide as the members of the Southern Horror Writers Association voiced their support for his wonderful author and his sensational novel!

In today's literary world, it can be near impossible for an "up and coming" writer to even get their foot in the door of the publishing world. Bookstores won't carry your book unless it is published, and publishers won't even look at your work unless you have already been published. It is a fustrating cycle!

Here, at the Southern Horror Writers Association, we aim to give those "up and comers" a chance! Our goal is to lend a hand to the fresh voices in the fields of horror, suspence, thrillers and the supernatural. Whether your talent lies in novels, short stories, poems or art and photography, we're here to help you get your work exposed to the world!

The SHWA has it's own website, where we help to promote new writers and artists. The site is also the home for our submissions department for "Southern Grave Diggers" Magazine, our premiere publication that will feature the work of our talented members. Please check out our home page: www.southernhorror.com Any questions about the official organization or membership can be sent to John Parker at johnparker@southernhorror.com

Please feel free to browse around our Myspace home. While here, check out the extraordinary work of some of our members. Friends, feel free to submit short works that you wish to have dispalyed on the site to the following address: johnparker@southernhorror.com

Work submitted here is for public access. Writers hold all rights to any work submitted. Those wishing to submit work for the magazine, please use the link on the SHWA home page. Thank you!
