Book Influencers: In-Person and Online
A panel for authors on working with two main forms of influencers: booksellers and social media influencers.
HorrorMance!
What do horror and romance have in common? Turns out a lot. From Gothic romance to dark, twisted love stories, horror romance can give readers and audiences stories that will rip their hearts out, in more ways than one.
Schlock Horror: Terribly Awesome or Awesomely Terrible?
What’s the appeal of schlock horror, and why do we love it so much? What makes one film a cult classic and another destined for obscurity? Aficionados of gloriously B-grade cinema share their favourites and discuss what we can learn from tossing concerns for high art out the window.
The Story Skeleton: Eastern and Western Story Structures and How They Work in Horror
Ever wondered why some horror feels offbeat and uncanny yet still blows your mind? What makes narratives like Parasite, Ringu, and Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” so effective? Let’s autopsy narrative skeletons, such as kishotenketsu, the Japanese four-act structure, and discuss how they can up your horror game.
HWA Diversity Grant recipients
Recipients of this year's HWA Diversity Grants share their thoughts on the award. Introduced by Linda D Addison.
Pretty in Pink, Covered in Blood
Pink Horror. Love the term or hate it, these two words represent a continuum of tales from gothic classics like The Yellow Wallpaper to contemporary works like Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties, and films like The Ugly Stepsister. In this panel, we’ll discern Feminist from Pink by exploring horror born of women’s societal pressures and tropes subverted to expose female experience. Let’s talk female rage at any age!
I Wish I’d Known That
There is no one tried-and-true way of getting into this biz, but each author has their own specific story to tell... So why don't they tell it? In this panel we chat with some of our leading horror luminaries and hear about how they got from A to B.
Narrative Non-Fiction Horror - Respecting Trauma and Respecting the Dead
How do you write about difficult, often traumatic topics truthfully and respectfully, knowing there is an audience allure to dark topics? How do you manage reader expectation for dark details while still drawing a line between truth and fetishization of or a continuation of violence or boundary breaking?
Becoming a Juggernaut: the Benefits and Pitfalls of Large-scale Success
Obviously success comes with benefits, like not having to pitch the same way and making more income, but what about being able to turn off your inner critic when you know you have a built-in audience? Or managing your time to write when you have to do so much promotion? In this panel, we learn secrets from some of the biggest names in the industry!
So You Want to Edit an Anthology
Many authors dream of editing their own anthology, but what does it actually take to cross the line from author to editor? What unique challenges arise from blurring these boundaries and wearing both hats? Join panelists as they discuss navigating the potential obstacles and social barriers of being both authors and editors.
Writing For Horror Games
Horror games require a deft hand to build atmosphere and tension, and like all games (whether video game or tabletop rpg), narrative is far more than just "writing the dialogue." How does one write for a horror game, what narrative tricks and techniques work? How does narrative intersect with art and mechanics to create atmosphere and scares in effective ways? And what is missing from the horror genre that we should hope (or fear!) in works to come?

The State of the Short
The state of short story publishing, both collections and singular stories, in 2025/26. We would discuss publishing venues that are open/ones that have closed, how to navigate this shifting landscape, how to build a community in the short story field, what work we are excited about these days, and lots of recommendations. Not sure who'd I'd ask, but I would like for it to be a mix of newer and established authors.
The Forest is Weird and We are Gay

The Horror Boom: On the Rise in Horror Popularity
Lately you’ve likely heard people saying that horror is experiencing a boom, or a golden age. That horror is hot. To get to the bottom of what is really going on, we have assembled a panel of horror professionals. Possessing a spectrum of experience including librarianing, writing, editing, publishing, podcasting, influencing, and more - and totaling decades or work in the field, this panel is preposterously qualified to finally answer, on the record: Are we in a golden age of horror?
"I'm the Problem, It's Me”: Writing Unreliable Narrators
This panel discusses different types of unreliable narrators, the ways unreliable narrators can be used to great effect in horror storytelling, as well as what it's like to write in that headspace, and advice on how to craft an unreliable narrator.
Women and Werewolves: Exploring Female Rage through Monstrosity
Exploring the werewolf through a feminist lens. Discussing topics such as pregnancy, queerness, violence against women, female rage, and gender stereotypes/norms, this panel of contributors will seek to provide context and discourse towards why women deserve a seat at the table with this monster, and other shapeshifters like them.
Evolution of the Chapbook
Our panel of publishers explores the meaning, the market, and the magic of chapbooks! What constitutes a chapbook? Who is the target audience, and how do chapbooks uniquely benefit their authors? We take a quick look at the history of chapbooks from the sixteenth century to the present day.
