For authors and publishers, it’s a challenging time to be releasing a book.  Luckily there are forward-thinking individuals in the horror community who really want to promote horror, and give authors an opportunity to launch their upcoming books.

Jim McLeod of Ginger Nuts of Horror established the Pandemic Book Launches Facebook group,

Stephanie Ellis has a post up at Horror Tree now that she is updating every Friday, listing books that have been recently released or that will be released in the near future and links to purchasing them

Joe Mynhardt of Crystal Lake Publishing has established a group for independent publishers and authors called Hot Off The Indie Press.

Monster Librarian has a  “Publishers” page with a list of links to publishers of horror and dark fiction that you can get to from our main menu. It is incomplete, but if you know of an addition I can make, email me at monsterlibrarian@monsterlibrarian.com and I will add the link to that page.

The Horror Writers Association has a newsletter  called Quick Bites that covers new releases, programming, and special events offered by the organization and its members.  It is updated 2-3 times a month. Whether you are a member or not, you can sign up here to have it delivered straight to your inbox.

I am making this a sticky post, so it will remain at the top of our page for the time being. If you know of another resource I can add to help authors and publishers reach their readers, please let me know and I’ll add it here!
