Valued contributor Sophie Masson sent us this message, introducing a site called Richard Harland’s Writing Tips:
Thought this would be of interest to readers of Writer Unboxed. Richard Harland, who compiles it, is a very good writer–and a friend of mine! It’s a great free service he’s doing..
Richard Harland: “So far, I’m a middling-successful author with 15 published books of fantasy, SF and horror, some for adults, some YA and some for younger readers. I reckon that makes me luckier than most, so this is my way of getting good karma and giving something back.”
Richard’s tips are fantastic! Check out them out HERE.
Thanks, Sophie!
Writer Unboxed began as a collaboration between Kathleen Bolton and Therese Walsh in 2006. Since then, the site has grown to include ~50 regular contributors and a variety of guests on rotation throughout a given year.
In 2016, the Writer Unboxed team published a book with Writer’s Digest / Random House. AUTHOR IN PROGRESS: A No-Holds-Barred Guide to What It Really Takes to Get Published is a comprehensive guide focused on helping writers over/around/through hurdles faced at every stage of the novel-writing process. It’s received some ***** reviews; we hope you’ll check it out.
If you’d like to be among the first to know about the next Writer Unboxed UnConference, which will likely tie-in with WU’s 20th Anniversary celebration, please sign up for our mailing list!

Cool! And, haha, I love how he calls himself a “middling-successful author”. :P
Excellent link, Sophie. Richard’s site is full of useful and easy-to-access information for less experienced writers and I’ll certainly be recommending it to people.
I’m part way through his book-length advice already and it’s wonderful! I really like his humble approach and personal, specific advice. He comes across as someone who is very honest about his own process and knows what he is talking about. Plus, I appreciate his sense of humor. :)
