Subscription Boxes for Writers That Inspire Monthly Motivation

Updated by Timothy Paradis

Do you spend your days and nights with story ideas running through your head? You must be a writer. And being a writer means sleepless nights, using lots of paper, running out of ink in your pen, and embarking on a creative journey that many people will never pursue. It’s as rewarding as it is frustrating, and we want to help make it all easier.

Different than a book-of-the-month club (though definitely book club adjacent, because after all, writers tend to be readers, too!), subscription boxes geared towards writers can help you get those creative juices flowing and give you the encouragement you need to put pen to paper. So whether you’ve been inspired by the latest new release in your TBR stack or you're in the midst of penning your first thriller, writers boxes will give you the support you need month after month.

Customer Review

“Each monthly delivery of this box is like Christmas morning! There are so many goodies in each box - treats like coffee/tea/hot chocolate, snacks, a journal or notepad or book of writing prompts, pens and stickers and pins and writer’s favorite things. But most important is the monthly novel (with signed bookplate), an inside look at the Publishing Process and an Exclusive Writing Passport penned by each month’s author. Keep up the GREAT WORK LADIES!!!!!” – Courtney D.
