Extended Request for Latinx Heritage Recommendations

Dear HWA Members and Horror Fans,

Because we didn’t get as many suggestions as we would have liked for the 2024 Latinx Heritage interview series, we would like to extend our reach beyond nominations by HWA Members (who we always go to first for nominations). We are looking for authors to interview for the 2023 HWA Latinx Heritage in Horror interview series. We are interested in interviewing people who have not been interviewed in our past three annual series. Here is a list of the people who have already been interviewed:

2023 – Ashley Dioses, Leticia Urieta, Pedro Iniguez, Michael Paul Gonzalez, Fernanda Castro, Carlos E. Rivera, Lisa M. Bradley, John C. Mannone, Luisa Colón, Javier Loustaunau, Richard Z. Santos, Jonathan Reddoch, Samaire Wynne, Luis Paredes, Vincent Tirado, Henry Bedwell, Carmen Baca, Sandra Becerril

2022 – Ann Dávila Cardinal, Manuel Arenas, A.P. Thayer, LP Hernandez , A.E.Santana, Jose T. Nateras, Valerie Valdes, Angela Acosta, Katherine Quevedo, Beulah Vega (B.F. Vega), Nathan Castellanos, Maria Pillar Conn (MP Conn), Rosemary Thorne , Michael J Moore, Amparo Ortiz, Robert Perez, Juan Manuel Perez, Susan Bradley, Dr. Greg McWhorter, K. Garcia Ley, Andre Schuck, Diana Rodriguez Wallach, Kevin M. Casin, Ángel Isían, Karlo Yeager

2021 – Cynthia Pelayo, E. Reyes, Violet Castro, Gaby Triana, Charlie Vazquez, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Romina Garber, Isabel Cañas, Rios de la Luz, David Bowles, Richie Narvaez, Guadalupe Garcia McCall, S. Alessandro Martinez

We are also giving priority to authors who have not been interviewed for another series within the past calendar year. We are looking for writers in horror and related genres (such as dark fantasy), including authors, poets, screenwriters, and non-fiction writers. 

If you would like to nominate such an author, or self-nominate, please send an email message to Sumiko Saulson at sumikoska@yahoo.com

In the intro, please include:

– The name of the author

– Email, or other contact info for the author

Authors do not have to be members of the HWA to be nominated, although
