WU Team: Staff & Contributors
Editorial Team
The Editorial Team at Writer Unboxed does more than load and edit posts.
Editorial Director
Therese Walsh co-founded Writer Unboxed with Kathleen Bolton in 2006. As Editorial Director, Therese strives for a positive, empowering, and sometimes provocative tone at Writer Unboxed. She invites contributors and guests, sets the WU calendar, develops new features, troubleshoots, and sometimes even writes an essay.
She is so proud of Team WU.
Assistant Editors
Assistant Editors Kim Bullock and Vaughn Roycroft keep Writer Unboxed running smoothly. They stay abreast of the calendar, send reminders as needed to contributors, and curate posts to cover emergencies.
Contributors Unboxed
WU’s contributors are foundational members of the team. Their voices are familiar, their essays are impactful, their advice propels our work to the next level, and their provocations keep us thinking—and talking in comments.
