Our mission is to offer a diverse group of horror (dark fantasy, dark gothic, dark historical, dark mystery) writers, artists, cover artists, editors, and poets a place to belong and connect. We celebrate horror in all forms and wish to help build relationships, share information, give support, and reward excellent works.
Our views:
1. We are dedicated to vetting publishers to protect authors from vanity presses or presses that ask for money for any reason.
2. We are against "reading fees" or "entry fees".
3. Within our grievance section, we will make a stand. We will not tolerate bullying (cyber or real), terrorism, sexual (or other) harassment, threats, shaming, racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination.
4. While we stand by the above, we also will not accept "virtue signaling", political or social rants on our pages, or demands for “political correctness” that goes against freedom of the written word. We also do not support any material that promotes hatred or fear.
5. We firmly believe in the freedom and honesty of writing as an art form not to be infringed upon.
6. Socio-economics, culture, race, age, sex, gender, religion, and politics have no bearing on HAG, and we ask for respect for all.
7. Some members may be underage (we require 14 and up), we will not tolerate pedophilia.
8. We will alert to suicidal/ harmful threats as the law dictates.
9. We will remain compliant with the law in terms of cooperating as needed.
10. At any HAG event, we ask members to not only act in safe ways but to also remain vigilant and to help others feel safe at all times.
11. Order of complaint: Grievance officer -> Board -> Vice-President
