News: Australian Shadows Award reminder

The deadline for entering work into the Australian Shadows Award is drawing near (December 31). The Australian Shadows Award is coordinated by the Australian Horror Writers Association and is the peak award for horror fiction in Australia. Entry is open to Australians (and New Zealanders) who have had a work of dark fiction (horror, paranormal, or dark fantasy) published in 2009. Entry is free.

This year, the Australian Shadows Award has expanded into three categories: Short Fiction (for short stories), Long Fiction (for novels, novellas, and single-author collections), and Edited Publication (for anthologies). Full details on the award can be found here.

If you are eligible and have had a short story, collection, novella, or novel published this year, or you edited a horror-themed anthology or magazine issue, and you haven’t yet entered your work into the Australian Shadows Award, please contact the Award Director Shane Jiraiya Cummings (australianshadows@australianhorror.com) before December 31 to arrange entry.
