Writers Workshop: Where are all the Boogeyladies?

Every year, we dedicate a panel to amplifying and celebrating the female voices in horror—voices that have long been overlooked due to systemic exclusion. This year, we’re shifting the focus from what’s been suppressed to what’s thriving. We’ll explore the incredible achievements of women in horror, where to find their standout works, and who the trailblazing creators behind them are. Plus, we’ll dive into today’s most compelling female characters in horror fiction. Join us as we answer the question: Where are all the Boogeyladies?

Moderator: M. Leigh

Panelists: Drew Huff, Wendy Wagner, Heather Alexander, Roxanne Guiney, Maria Giakoumatos
