The Horror Writers Association, on behalf of its writer members, stands in
support of the Writers Guild of America strike in seeking appropriate
compensation for writers when their work is distributed digitally, either
via DVD or Internet downloads. Although HWA is not a union, it is an
organization of writers that advocates for authors’ rights. Writers Guild of
America and its demands fall solidly into this category. All writers will be
affected by the outcome of this strike, and we stand in solidarity,
resisting those who seek to distribute our work on the Internet, DVD, or any
format without fair compensation.
