Please view to learn about special programming coming soon to Writer Unboxed. I hope you’ll join me in helping with this new initiative. Let’s amplify the voices of those who’ve persevered, sold their art, and were anticipating the release of that art into the world–before “going viral” took on a much more ominous meaning. Let’s be the audience, the support system, and the community these authors need. It’s good medicine.
In the coming days and weeks, we’ll showcase some fun videos from housebound authors about their newly released books, and publish some special posts from our contributors and extended WU family, too. Look for this supplemental programming to appear during the afternoon hours.
Stay safe, my friends.

Great idea, T! Looking forward to watching and sharing.
Therese, you are the BEST, as always! I love this. I would love to participate through a video clip or whatever and to HELP OTHER AUTHORS in any way I can. XXX OOO
I don’t have a new release, but almost all of my March book tour events were cancelled. Probably my April events, too.
Would that qualify?
Once again, you are showing why you are so loved, Therese, by stepping up and spearheading this initiative. Can’t wait to listen and support whichever authors can forward in the days ahead.
What a lovely encouraging idea! So often, the worst situations bring out the best in people.
I have a book coming out on May 1, but as I am self-publishing there wasn’t going to be much of a ‘real-world’ hoopla anyway, so I don’t know that I rank among the negatively affected. Might have to scrap the kind of low-key cake and quiz event I had to celebrate the release of my first book, but Worse Things Happen At Sea.
I love you, T! This community is strong and I’m so grateful to be part of it.
Mama T, no one knows how to show the love like you. Thank you for always leading the WU Community down paths that unify us and bring hope and light to the challenging times. <3
Great idea! My publicist Tabitha at Sparks press sent me this link.
My book release is April 7th with Shewrites Press.
Look forward to connecting!
