UnConference Scholarship Winners!
By Writer Unboxed | May 17, 2019 | Comments Off on UnConference Scholarship Winners!
Huge congratulations to our three UnConference Scholarship winners, who will each receive a ticket to the event and a $600 stipend:
Leesa Brown
Amelia Loken
and
Thomas Womack!
Our thanks to all who applied. You are a talented group of writers, and you made our choice very difficult indeed.
Thanks to all who donated to our cash stipend fund, and also to the generous artists who contributed to the WU auction event, Lisa Janice Cohen, Deb Lacativa, and Marta Pelrine-Bacon. Your generosity directly impacted this event by enabling us to provide stipends to three people vs. one person. And to auction winners Brian B King, Melissa Hed, and Sharon Bially: Thank you for your support.
Thank you to all who participated in the auction via bids and through social media shares, too. We appreciate you!
Early Bird Window Closing Soon
Early registration for the WU UnConference ends on May 31st, in just two weeks. Thirty tickets remain, and we’d love for one of them to have your name on it. Learn more about the WU UnConference on our Eventbrite page.

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!
