However, it's not always about awards. From a publisher's standpoint it is more important to be recognized for treating authors the way they should be treated. Since Shroud's first issue, first novella, and first anthology, we have always insisted on paying our authors for their efforts. In the beginning, we paid professional rates and were responsible for helping a few authors secure Active HWA status. As economic conditions got rocky, we were forced to scale back our payment scheme, and thus helped writers attain their affiliate status. We always pay advances on longer work, and we hope to return to professional rates in the very near future.
The president of the HWA, Deborah LeBlanc, has informed us that the HWA board has voted to add Shroud to their list of Approved Publishers. Our name will be added to the list in the next few weeks after the Stoker Awards process quiets down.
Thank you HWA!

I think it goes without saying that this is well deserved. In a short time, you've not only put together a fine publishing house and magazine, but a dependable brand that speaks of high quality. Good going.
Congratulations! Very good news indeed. Shroud is an excellent magazine well worthy of this. I knew it was just a matter of time. ; )
