Writer Unboxed Newsletter Sign-Ups!
By Writer Unboxed | February 12, 2012 |
So you know we’re not happy unless we’re trying something new. Our latest push: gearing up to premier a spanky new Writer Unboxed newsletter in March. This newsletter isn’t a regurgitation of what you’ve already read here. It’ll offer fresh content, including:
- 21 Century Tips: short-and-pertinent tips offered by our WU craft-master, Donald Maass
- Ask Chuck: a Q&A column with Writer’s Digest’s Chuck Sambuchino on all things relating to the business of writing (including his specialty, getting an agent)
- Ask Victoria: a Q&A column with editor Victoria Mixon, who’s poised to answer all of your tricky craft questions
- Insider Confidential: pub scoop written by folks in the know who may or may not post as “anonymous”
- Boundless: digital media insights by our Digital Editor, Erika Liodice
- Community Roundup: links to articles meant to empower your craft, via WU’s Facebook Community Editor, Vaughn Roycroft
- Conversations with Jan O’Hara: exclusive author and industry interviews by our citrusy interview maven, Jan O’Hara
- The Book That Changed My Life: profiling books that impacted successful authors (and, psst, this column kicks off with an essay by New York Times bestseller Diana Gabaldon)
- reviews of the most unboxed books out there
- office health tips
- and (possibly) more — though we intend to keep our newsletter concise and killer-potent in terms of what it offers our readers
How can you get your hands on this gorgeous creation? (Because it will be gorgeous.) Type your email in the box below, click subscribe, and that’s it. We’ll never share or sell your email addy, and if for any reason you want to quit us, we’ll make that easy for you too. No hassles.
Thanks for giving us a shot. We’re excited about this new venture. See you in your inbox!
~ Therese and Kath

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!
Write on!
This is a great idea — can’t wait! You’ve got amazing content lined up! One idea for a future might be a column about the writing journey — written by a different writer each newsletter (either a writer/novelist-in-progress or a published writer). Kind of a “my writing life” column. This would give other writers some inspiration “from the trenches” and an opportunity to get to know other writers they might not know.
Sounds great!
Wonderful – signing up now!
Can’t wait to read the first one! I can always count on something exciting going on with WU.
Done and done! ;)
Done, and a great idea. Sounds like a great edition to writer unboxed
