Holiday Writing Nights

Keep your writing afloat through the busiest season of the year.

The holidays don’t have to derail your writing life. For six weeks this December and January, join me and a group of dedicated writers for Tuesday night co-writing sessions designed to help you protect your writing time and your creative spark.

Each week, you’ll show up, settle in, and write alongside a warm, lovely group.

No homework. Just the right amount of pressure. It's a supportive space where you can stay connected to your work and your voice during the most wonderful time of the year.

✴︎ FAQs

What happens during each session?
Each Holiday Writing Night starts with a brief hello and a short check-in. Then we mute ourselves and write for most of the hour. At the end, we come back together to share small wins or plans for next time. It's simple, grounding, and surprisingly motivating.

What if I can’t make every session live?
Come to as many sessions as you can. Many writers join when they're able, and that’s perfectly fine. (Recordings aren’t provided, since the focus is on real-time co-writing.)

I’m new to writing. Is this for me?
Yes! Writers in all genres at all stages join these sessions. It’s a friendly, low-pressure space to practice showing up, no matter where you are in your process.

How do I log onto Holiday Writing Nights? You’ll receive the Zoom link right after you sign up. You'll also receive the Zoom link in an email 24ish hours before our first meeting begins. Looking for the Zoom link after signing up? Check your Gumroad library.

✴︎ Praise for Writing Nights

"Hurley's co-working sessions set up the opportunity and discipline I needed to finally get my book started. Her strong sense of fun, encouragement, and her own solid commitment to writing were just the inspirations I needed." —Mary Anne

"What I found most useful was the community of creative people aspiring to make work, juggling life and battling resistance, coming together at the same time (together but apart) each week to do our best and share just a little about what we're working on. Even when I didn't write during the appointed time, I used it to think, to journal, to read - all that other prerequisite work that can be easy to jump past." —Jason

"The writing nights gave me the accountability I needed to keep writing, and the gentle and enthusiastic support of the group and Hurley was everything." —Tracy

✴︎ Who’s leading this group?

Holiday Writing Nights are brought to you by me, Hurley Winkler (she/her), a writer, professor, and book editor based in my hometown of Jacksonville, FL.

I believe that the best classroom environments are nurturing and fun. My facilitation style is enthusiastic, immersive, and filled with gentle pushes.

What I'm working on during Summer Writing Nights:

• finishing a draft of novel #2
• squeezing in some mid-week reading time
• journaling and cuddling with my rescue pup, Susan
