GSHW
Member Spotlight Guidelines
The Garden State Horror Writers has introduced a new means of recognizing
the accomplishments of our membership -- the Member Spotlight. By featuring
a member both in the newsletter and on the website, we hope to express our
pride in our members, provide publicity for the member's upcoming works and
familiarize both member and non-member alike with the name and history of
the individuals of this group.
Since September 2002, one member has been chosen each quarter. We print
in the Member Spotlight forum that member's bio, photo, a bibliography,
a link to their website, and information about their upcoming works.
This info will appear once in that quarter in an issue of our New Jersey
Graveline newsletter, and will be posted for the three-month duration of
that quarter on the GSHW website. After the three months has passed,
the member info may be archived indefinitely, unless the author should request
for some reason it be taken down. In matters of timeliness, the order
in which accepted members will appear is at the sole discretion of the board
and its committees, but will be handled generally on a first come, first
serve basis.
Criteria for participating in the program is as
follows:
1) You must be an active
or associate member in good standing with the GSHW
2) You must be currently
actively involved in at least some way in the art and/or business of writing
and/or horror. This includes, but is not limited to, authors, artists,
editors, illustrators, agents, publishers, filmmakers, screenwriters, etc.
3) It is preferred, but
not necessary, that contributors have, in any format, at least one recently
released work (within the last six months), OR a work pending release. These
do not have to be professional or even paying venues.
4) It is also preferred
that contributors have at least one credit for a work released during the
past course of their careers, any format or medium. It does not have
to be a professional or even paying venue.
Please send all submissions to president Gary Frank at president@gshw.net.
Submissions will be reviewed by the board, the newsletter, and the webmaster.
