Win a full year of writing coaching

Your Writing deserves A coach

Show up for your writing. Enter to win.

12 months. 12 sessions. One focused writer.

One entry. One year of your writing life transformed.

Your stories deserve to be
finished.

And this year, one writer gets a coach to help them do it.

You've been carrying these stories for years. You know you're a writer, but between life, self-doubt, and never quite finding the right system, the work keeps waiting.

We're giving away 12 months of private coaching through The Finishing School — one session every single month, completely free — to one writer who's ready to stop waiting and start finishing. No catch. Just your writing, taken seriously.

What the winner gets

12 months. 12 sessions.
Completely focused on you!

Don't miss it

The giveaway closes March 12, after AWP 2026. Whether you were there in person or followed along online, you belong here. Claim your free coaching year now.
