Writer Unboxed founders, Therese Walsh and Kathleen Bolton, are not the sort to rest on their laurels, which is one of the reasons I heart them. They’ve begun a new initiative, and since you’re probably here because you love writing and/ or books, it might interest you.
Beginning in March, WU is putting out a monthly newsletter with content exclusive to that format.
If you’re a writer, you’ll find columns by Donald Maass on craft, Chuck Sambuchino on getting an agent, and Victoria Mixon on editing issues, among others.
Vaughn Roycroft has taken on the role of community roundup-er, gathering the best blog posts written by the WU Facebook members in the preceding month. (If you’re not yet part of that supportive place and want to join, and have your blog posts be eligible for inclusion, go here.)
If you’re a reader, the newsletter will have short articles written by guest authors. This month? NYT-bestseller Diana Gabaldon on the book that changed her life.
I’m thrilled to be part of the initiative with a role which indulges my congenital nosiness. I’ll be conducting short Q & A’s with authors and industry people, beginning with mystery author, Alice Loweecey.
Want more details? Go to WU itself for more information.
Ready to give it a try? Follow this link, enter your email, and you’re done. If you’re inclined to spread the world, we’d appreciate it.
I’ll be back later this week with a regular post, me Zesties. Hope you are well.
It’s true, WU is always evolving, ever expanding, continually striving. And yet there’s still a comfort there. Same core of great folks, but new faces coming along all the time. Kudos to Therese and Kath. So glad I found my writerly online home, and I’m honored to be a part of such an exciting new venture (with such awesome companions!).
It’s going to be fun, Vaughn. 🙂
It sounds like an impressive group! P.S. I love your new banner graphic (Is it new? or have I just been gone way too long? Either way, it’s very sassy).
Hey, Q&L, good to see you.
Re the banner: it’s new to this site. I forwarded my domain straight to here, and this was the graphic I used over there. It makes me smile and still has the essence I’m after. Glad you approve. 🙂
I’m looking forward to the new news. I’m grateful for the WU moderators and mamas for making it such a great place.
I agree, Stacy. They work hard and much of what we reap is from unseen effort.
It’s wonderful how much information and love of writing with everyone at WU.
I also love your new (to me) banner. 🙂
I think most newcomers to WU pick up on the warmth right away.
And thank you! I changed the banner last week and wondered if anyone noticed.
Great job of getting the word out, Jan! I look forward to learning and smiling.
Aw, thanks, Dannie.
