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.
Whoa. Therese was absolutely right. You are truly an inspiration, Samantha. I’m currently pushing through on the most recent of what seemed like a lot of total reworks of my WIP prior to going back out to publishers. Seemed like a lot until I saw this video.
On a side-note, I applaud your humility here. I contend that humility is the new confidence, and you’re the example that proves my point.
Thanks for the inspiration and the prod to persevere, particularly now. Heading off to order Woman on the Edge.
Thank you so much, Vaughn! You’ve got this! I will be cheering you on from here!
I’ve loved watching your success, Samantha. It’s so well-deserved and hard-earned–a wonderful lesson of resilience for all of us. I downloaded your book today! <3 Congratulations on your release. I hope there are many more to come.
Oh, Heather, thank you so much! Your posts over the years have really inspired me and I’m grateful.
Congratulations, Samantha, and thank you for sharing your journey. I love this: “persistence is key and for me revision is where the magic is.” So true! Best of luck as you navigate this difficult time.
Thank you so much, Barbara! I hope you’re doing as well as possible.
