Some kind words from current and former students:
“Writing is finally a joy again thanks to Hurley’s expert insights and lovingly crafted workshop structure.” —Emma
“Hurley’s workshops provide structure and inspiration to any struggling writer. Every workshop session, I leave feeling fulfilled, inspired, and ready to take on the problems in my writing.” —Kalee
“Throughout my three workshops with Hurley, my work has grown exponentially in complexity and confidence thanks to her extremely helpful and thoughtful feedback.” —Lexi
New workshops are offered on a rolling basis and are announced in the newsletter.
ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER
In an interview with Vogue, screenwriter Greta Gerwig said, “Writing alone can give you a very deep sense of satisfaction and lonely victory.” I think every writer can relate to that sentiment.
I started this newsletter in May 2020 because I wanted to help writers cultivate sustainable writing practices for themselves. It’s my hope that readers will come away from Lonely Victories with a new zest for their writing lives.
"I especially appreciate Winkler's emphasis on accountability for writers and her ideas for how to create it." —Mason Currey, author of the Daily Rituals series
ABOUT ME
I’m Hurley Winkler, a writer who loves thinking about the creative process.
My writing has appeared in The Millions, Hobart, Neutral Spaces, and elsewhere, I’m a regular interviewer for The Creative Independent and Jacksonville Music Experience, and I’m the web editor for Rose Books. I’m represented by Elizabeth Bewley at Sterling Lord Literistic.
I’ve been facilitating workshops for prose writers since 2019, and there’s nothing I love more than helping writers pursue their work joyfully.
