Australian Horror Writers Association
The Australian Horror Writers Association (AHWA) is a non-profit organisation that commenced in 2003 with the goal of providing a unified voice and sense of community for Australian writers of dark fiction (horror and dark fantasy) and to further the development of dark fiction in Australia. The AHWA has in more recent times changed its name to The Australasian Horror Writers Association and is currently (2025) active. It conducts the Shadows Awards for horror writing.
