Like his three brothers, Hubert V. Coryell attended Harvard University; he graduated in 1911. He began working as a teacher fresh out of college, starting in a segregated school in St. Louis. He taught in a variety of schools before settling back in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was an English teacher and later a school principal, while writing professionally on the side. His younger brother Russell M. Coryell was also a teacher and author.
Hubert V. Coryell married Etta Verona Child in 1912. By 1922, they had three children.
Hubert V. Coryell wrote numerous articles about education, often focusing on boys’ issues. He co-authored, with Henry W. Holmes, dean of the Harvard School of Education, "Word Finder" (1921), a reference book for elementary school children. He wrote fiction and nonfiction for the Macfadden Publications, the publisher that had been so instrumental in his father’s writing career. These magazines include "Physical Culture", "National Brain Power", "Midnight Mystery Stories", "Movie Weekly", and "Ghost Stories". An untold amount of his Macfadden work was published under pennames. In the 1930s, he specialized in adventure novels for boys.
