Writer Unboxed Live! Panel at the Writer’s Digest Conference (+ discount code)
By Writer Unboxed | April 25, 2015 |
If you’ll be attending the Writer’s Digest conference–held in NYC from July 31st through August 2nd–please stop by to say hello; Writer Unboxed will be there. Our Live! panel is still in development, but here’s what we know at this point.
- Eight WU contributors will make up the panel, including Porter Anderson, Brunonia Barry, Dan Blank, Erika Robuck, Vaughn Roycroft, Therese Walsh, and Heather Webb. The eighth is mostly confirmed at this point, and his name rhymes with Donald Maass.
- This will be an interactive experience. You and us. Us and you. We may even start asking you the questions. Goal: create possibilities where before you may have sensed road blocks.
- Our ID code for a $25 group discount is WRITERUNBOXED, (Note that the WD conference website asks for the ID code at the start of the process rather than during check out.)
Finally, a brag. We’re thrilled to announce that WU made the Writer’s Digest list of top sites for writers for the 9th year in a row. We’re on that list with friends like:
Jane Friedman‘s site
Debbie Ohi’s Inkygirl
Chuck Wendig’s Terrible Minds
Amy Sue Nathan’s Women’s Fiction Writers
Victoria Strauss’s Writer Beware
Writers in the Storm
There are dozens of additional resources listed. Learn about all of them in the May/June issue of Writer’s Digest.
We hope to see you in NYC! Write on.
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!
W00t! NYC, here I come. Can’t wait. And congrats on your 9th year. I know following you has helped my writing improve tenfold.
Well-deserved honor, T. I am SO looking forward to seeing my WU kinfolk again.
Whoop! Congratulations!

I’ll be there in spirit! Congrats to Mama T and crew on 9 years. Quite an accomplishment.
Wow! Again! Congratulations!
“The eighth is mostly confirmed at this point, and his name rhymes with Donald Maass.”
That comment made me laugh out loud.
Is it Ronald-
Crap!
Hey, what rhymes with Maass?
Oh, I remember now, Ronald Vanoss.
Cool, I met Ronald down in Florida about 20 years ago. I don’t think he was a part of the writing industry at the time, though. :OP
Seriously, that is so toe tickling exciting, Momma Tee. More work for you- oops, ahh, what a privilege and honor and stuff.
You unboxed, writing people are totally wicked (in a good way).
Congratulations!
Look at that Panel!
