Hugo House writing classes - Winter 2023 registration and early bird pricing

Richard Hugo came from an impoverished childhood in White Center. He wrote about life along the Duwamish River, about people who lived in shacks on the city’s outskirts. He illuminated their lives and their struggles. Hugo was admired nationally and inspired countless aspiring writers and poets all over the country through his work. Today, his words and story inspire the mission at Hugo House. In its first 25 years, more than 150,000 writers and readers have passed through Hugo House’s doors for readings, classes, residencies, and more. And they’re still coming today, in greater numbers than ever. Hugo House courses cover a wide range of writing styles and experiences. Whether you’re struggling to write your first poem or have a few novels behind you, Hugo House classes can support and inspire you. Classes are taught by published writers who are also stellar teachers. HH students come from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences—what they all have in common is a love of words.
