Auction #3: Skyscraper Ad on Writer Unboxed
By Writer Unboxed | January 28, 2012 |
Want to bid to win Writer Unboxed’s skyscraper ad space? Your ad will run at the top of our sidebar for two weeks, anytime within the next year. You tell us when.
Look at the top-left sidebar of our homepage. See the ad there under the header “Skyscraper Ad”? That space is what you’re bidding on in this auction.
This ad is the cheese. It stands alone. No rotating with any other cover, no sharing. Provide us with the art (a high-quality jpg of your book cover or the logo for your business), some pertinent copy (like a selling quote for your book, or a client’s recommendation) and a hyperlink to the web portal of your choice, and we’ll do the rest. OR you can provide us with an already created web ad sized to our specs if you prefer.
BID ON WRITER UNBOXED’S SKYSCRAPER AD BELOW IN COMMENTS. AUCTION CLOSES AT 8 P.M. EST ON MONDAY, JANUARY 30TH. HIGH BID WINS. SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE. Good luck!

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.
