Writer Unboxed Newsletter Sign-Ups!

By

PhotobucketSo you know we’re not happy unless we’re trying something new. Our latest push: gearing up to premier a spanky new Writer Unboxed newsletter in March. This newsletter isn’t a regurgitation of what you’ve already read here. It’ll offer fresh content, including:

  • 21 Century Tips: short-and-pertinent tips offered by our WU craft-master, Donald Maass
  • Ask Chuck: a Q&A column with Writer’s Digest’s Chuck Sambuchino on all things relating to the business of writing (including his specialty, getting an agent)
  • Ask Victoria: a Q&A column with editor Victoria Mixon, who’s poised to answer all of your tricky craft questions
  • Insider Confidential: pub scoop written by folks in the know who may or may not post as “anonymous”
  • Boundless: digital media insights by our Digital Editor, Erika Liodice
  • Community Roundup: links to articles meant to empower your craft, via WU’s Facebook Community Editor, Vaughn Roycroft
  • Conversations with Jan O’Hara: exclusive author and industry interviews by our citrusy interview maven, Jan O’Hara
  • The Book That Changed My Life: profiling books that impacted successful authors (and, psst, this column kicks off with an essay by New York Times bestseller Diana Gabaldon)
This is how we’ll begin. Down the road, we’ll be adding other features, like:
  • reviews of the most unboxed books out there
  • office health tips
  • and (possibly) more — though we intend to keep our newsletter concise and killer-potent in terms of what it offers our readers

How can you get your hands on this gorgeous creation? (Because it will be gorgeous.) Type your email in the box below, click subscribe, and that’s it. We’ll never share or sell your email addy, and if for any reason you want to quit us, we’ll make that easy for you too. No hassles.

Thanks for giving us a shot. We’re excited about this new venture. See you in your inbox!
~ Therese and Kath

About

Writer Unboxed began as a collaboration between Therese Walsh and Kathleen Bolton in 2006. Since then the site has grown to include ~50 regular contributors--including bestselling authors and industry leaders--and frequent guests. In 2014, the first Writer Unboxed UnConference (part UNtraditional conference, part intensive craft event, part networking affair) was held in Salem, MA. Learn more about our 2019 event, ESCAPE TO WuNDERLAND, on Eventbrite. In 2016, the Writer Unboxed team published a book with Writer's Digest. AUTHOR IN PROGRESS: A No-Holds-Barred Guide to What It Really Takes to Get Published has been well-received by readers who seek help in overcoming the hurdles faced at every step of the novel-writing process--from setting goals, researching, and drafting to giving and receiving critiques, polishing prose, and seeking publication. James Scott Bell has said of the guide, "Nourishment for the writer's soul and motivation for the writer's heart." You can follow Writer Unboxed on Twitter, and join our thriving Facebook community.

  1. This is a great idea — can’t wait! You’ve got amazing content lined up! One idea for a future might be a column about the writing journey — written by a different writer each newsletter (either a writer/novelist-in-progress or a published writer). Kind of a “my writing life” column. This would give other writers some inspiration “from the trenches” and an opportunity to get to know other writers they might not know.

  9. So exciting, and I am SO honored to be a part of it, and am so grateful to Therese and Kath for including me!

    I do need help from the community, rounding up our tribe’s best links. I’ve posted about it on the facebook page, and would appreciate your help. Not a member of the WU facebook group? Easily remedied by clicking HERE! Come and join the fun!

  18. I would like to see a weekly column by Ray Rhamey doing what he does on his website: taking a writer’s first few hundred words and critiquing why they do or do not work.
