Goals and mission - about us
The Robert E. Howard Foundation LLC began by the year 2006. We were organized to foster a better understanding of the life and works of Mr. Robert E. Howard. Our number one goal is to honor his legacy as a prolific, successful, and highly skilled writer. He loved to write fantasy, regional horror, action-adventure stories, and much more. He had a true knack for spanning multiple genres with ease.Howard also loved to craft unique and dynamic characters to fill his imaginative worlds. Our foundation is here to do the following things:
- Acquire, manage, and conserve archives and collections of Howard’s work and personal items
- To conduct research for scholars, historians, fans, and others that are interested in Howard’s life and legacy.
- To promote and award young writers of the same genres with awards/scholarships
- To support Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, Texas, each year.
- To help support and maintain Robert’s personal home and museum in Cross Plains, Texas.
- To make Howard’s works available through multiple channels.
As you can see, we tackle many different tasks at our foundation. We love rewarding young writers that share Howard’s passion for fantasy and horror. We’re an international foundation, and you’re free to join us wherever you live. All that we ask is that you’re as big a fan as we are of Robert E. Howard! Don’t wait to join, do it today. Membership information can be found here.
