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.
It’s a good news / bad news post. This year’s Writer Unboxed UnConference, taking place in Salem, MA in November, is now sold out. That’s the good news and the bad news! If you were hoping to be able to attend, though, we hope you’ll consider being one of the first to sign up for our Waiting List, which you can find on our page at Eventbrite, HERE. Those who sign up for the list will also be on our ‘first to know’ list for our next event.
Write on, friends.

It’s all about Goal, Motivation, Conflict (GMC) for storytellers, yes? Here’s ours: Our search for a single UnConference Scholarship winner was unsuccessful. The talent pool was extraordinary this year, and the stories of perseverance were truly moving. We want to award more than one scholarship, but have a cash stipend that is sufficient for only […]
