Sustain your writing momentum all year long.

If you want a writing life that stays steady, supported, and aligned with your creative energy—not just at the start of the year, but through every season—Four Seasons of Writing is designed for you.

This year-long coaching program gives you quarterly 1:1 calls + monthly email check-ins, so you can maintain a sense of direction in your writing no matter what life throws your way this year.

✴︎ What’s Included

💻 Quarterly 1:1 Coaching Calls (four total)

Every three months starting in March, we'll meet one-on-one to:

• Reflect on your progress and creative growth
• Revisit and refine your writing goals
• Build a realistic writing plan for the upcoming season
• Stay grounded in your long-term writing vision
• Troubleshoot roadblocks before they spiral

💌 Monthly Email Check-Ins

Between sessions, you’ll receive individual monthly check-ins that'll give you space to:

• Share wins, challenges, and questions
• Stay on top of any goals you set
• Get a boost of feedback and direction
• Keep your writing at the center of your month

This combination of steady structure + encouraging support will help you create a writing rhythm that adapts to your life... not the other way around.

✴︎ Support for all writers, especially those who crave:

• long-term accountability
• a sustainable writing routine
• support while juggling a big project across many months
• structure and support throughout the year

No matter your genre, pace, or experience level, I'll help guide you forward with a balance of warmth and practicality.

✴︎ Availability for Coaching Calls

I offer a mix of weekday, evening, and Saturday appointment times so you can schedule your seasonal coaching calls at moments that genuinely work for your life and writing rhythm.

• Weekday availability: A variety of afternoon slots (EST)
• Evenings: Select weeknights
• Weekends: Limited Saturday sessions for those who need non-weekday options

If you’re giving this program as a gift, your recipient will have full access to the scheduling calendar and can choose any open time. New times are added regularly, so there will always be fresh options throughout the year.

✴︎ About Me

I’m Hurley Winkler (she/her), a writer, book editor, and professor.

I teach Creative Writing at Flagler College and have been editing books professionally for 10 years. I also write Lonely Victories, a newsletter where I share book recs and cheer on fellow writers.

My work is represented by Elizabeth Bewley (Sterling Lord Literistic), and I’m currently elbows-deep in my second novel.

When you hop on a coaching call with me, please remember: you’re talking to a fellow writer, not a therapist.
