Writer Unboxed will be on its annual holiday break for the next week. We hope that you and yours enjoy the season, and that you’ll join us again in the new year. We’ll return on January 1st, 2025, with a post from Donald Maass.
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!
It’s been a strange year, and I still feel off-kilter. Besides the world being on fire, I thought I would publish this year and didn’t. Writing is a solace, but I can so easily stray from keeping it as a practice. WU is a beacon and a force for stability. I have never appreciated this blog and this community quite like I do now.
Happiest of holidays, WU. Wishing us all the solace of lifting one another and continuing to do our work in the new year.
One of the most reliably rewarding gifts I have cherished throughout the past several years — and hope/intend to continue cherishing in 2025 — is this community of wonderfully thoughtful, generous, collegial writers, editors, publishers, readers, etc. Thanks to all of you for making this such an exceptional space for conversation, education, and reflection.
What David Corbett said. Without Writer Unboxed, life for me would truly be diminished. Thanks to all who sustained it for the rest of us. God Bless Them Everyone.
Happy holidays to the WU community. And, my thanks go to those who work behind the scenes and prepare such thoughtful posts to make Writer Unboxed the best website on the craft of fiction writing. I look forward to reading all of the great posts each day. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
So grateful for our WU community. Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas!!! And as Tiny Tim says, “God bless us, everyone.” May the New Year usher in peace and joy and lots and lots of wonderful stories.
