"I have been using Unchained Writer to push me through the difficult aspects of the writing process which I dislike and which slow me down. The timed 1 hour live writing sessions are really effective. It works whether it is a live session or not. And I can get so much done in that hour."

"It’s been surprising to me how much Unchained Writer has affected other parts of my life. I have energy after writing and with my new writing habit as part of my schedule I find time to be productive in other areas of my life too. Thanks to UW I’ve started tackling projects I wanted to work on years ago. I had a writing habit before but I wasn’t as enthusi..." Read more

"I am surprised by the degree of focus I have during the sessions. Before Unchained Writer my writing was sporadic, not committed. Now I’m learning to write well by showing action vs telling. This writing program is meeting my needs very well."

"Before Unchained Writer my writing was only happening when I somehow dragged myself through quagmires and sinkholes of procrastination to meet a supremely urgent need in my business. Now I’m writing pretty much daily, having only missed two sessions entirely due to illness. I’m excited and felt anxious and unhappy when I missed. Writing feels great, and thos..." Read more

"The scheduled time to write has changed and transformed me. The impact of this habit on my life is unexpected. I am more focused and have more time to do other things that matter most to me. It seems my mind is generating more ideas and inspirations for my writing and art-making. I love the feeling that I am “writing” with other people, even though I can’t..." Read more

"Because of Unchained Writer I am getting more done productively than ever before both during the hour-long sessions as well as in the rest of my day, and in ALL areas of my life! I can't live without this now. I won't. Before Unchained Writer I didn't have what I consider tangible results. I've always utilized morning pages, you know? I love to write! B..." Read more

"Unchained Writer has given me my life back. There are many other programs that offer similar instructions on how to write a book. But that is all they offer. They don't offer follow-up or live writing or even conversations with other authors. I am so grateful that I found you and your Unchained Writer Mentor. Thank you. I am writing more consistently and fe..." Read more

"Before Unchained Writer I was an Irregular writer writing when the 'muse' hit. I have been trying to complete a novel for years. It had about 10,000 words or so to complete. In the last 20 days since signing up, I have completed my first draft, printed off, and started the editing process. I have never came so far so fast. I was reaching over 1000 words on s..."

"For years, I've been trying to force myself to finish an online course for senior writers, with little or very intermittent success. Now that I'm meeting with other writers online on a daily basis, I'm finally putting a coherent course together in a consistent, predictable manner. I've done more actual work on it in the past month than in the previous four y..." Read more

"I had not written consistently since Hurricane Harvey (August 2017). And with being laid off at the end of March, due to the coronavirus, it was the perfect time to make a change. Your offer for Unchained Writer came along at the perfect time. And for that I will be eternally grateful. Even if I am unable to attend a live writing session, when I go into the..." Read more

"Unchained Writer has allowed me to create a daily writing habit. The group offers support and encouragement regardless of what your writing goal. The quick lessons by Joe add an educational aspect and resources shared by the hosts and the members make it a tremendous writing community. I'm writing more and celebrating the wins."

"I joined Unchained Writer to motivate myself to write more. 'I'm paying a monthly fee, so I'll feel the need to use it!' was my hope. It worked. It boosted my writing productivity by getting me to write more often. My word counts per session went up as I used it more often as well. So I was writing more often, and writing more when I did write as well. One..." Read more

"For years, I've been trying to will myself into writing every day with the goal of finishing something longer than flash fiction or a blog post. Thanks to Unchained Writer, I'm putting the finishing touches on my first course, with two others partly done. Now, with the help, encouragement and above all, accountability of this group, I can honestly call mys..." Read more

"You have turned my writing around! I can't believe the difference the Live Writing Sessions have made in getting the job done, and I love your inspirational talks at the end. I also enjoy your procrastination workshops. "Break the Chains" was the boost I needed. Thank you."

He often shares his struggles and the hacks that he uses to overcome the creative obstacles he faces as a writer and business owner. He has a knack for identifying problems we have as writers, and he s..." Read more

"Who knew that Unchained Writer would be so content-rich (thanks, Joseph Michael!) and would gather a vibrant band of like and unlike-minded followers participating in a chatbox?! My writing day is a success, my productivity enhanced, if I begin the morning with a live session or a replay. The rewards are tangible!"

"Unchained Writer is, without question, the most effective online tool for motivating the fledgling writer to start writing and—most important of all—keep writing and stay consistent. You’re not really writing unless you have your butt in your chair and writing pages. Unchained Writer gets your butt in your chair. And keeps you there."

I’m writing 1500 + new words during each live writing session. I’ve added several new blog posts, written dozens of pages on my memoir & novella. It may take a few live sessions to bring a blog piece from concept to post, b..." Read more

"Unchained Writer has kept me sitting in the chair to write! It keeps me accountable. I am getting so much out of the live sessions. Before Unchained Writer, I found it difficult to keep on my writing schedule. Now, after almost a month into it, I actually look forward to being with everyone to write."
