The Horror Writers Association (HWA) announced the recipients of its 2017 scholarships.
The Horror Writers Association Scholarship went to John C. Mannone. First awarded in 2014 and open to all horror writers, $2,500 is “given annually to a deserving horror writer to assist in his/her professional development.”
The Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Scholarship went to A.E. Siraki. Open to female horror writers and first awarded in 2014, $2,500 is given annually “to encourage more female writers to enter our genre and to aid in the development of those already working within it.”
The Rocky Wood Memorial Scholarship Fund for Non-Fiction Writing went to both Kelly Robinson and Stephanie M. Wytovich. Annually awarding a “flexible amount”, the fund is named for a former president of HWA who died in 2014.
