Program areas at Richard Hugo House
Classes: Our teaching staff include prominent visiting writers, as well as working novelists, poets, essayists, and memoirists. Classes explore the craft of writing, from the basics (Poetry I) to the master class (Book Lab). In 2022, Hugo House continued serving students of all ages and provided countless hours of instructions to our community of writers.
Resources for Writers: Hugo House annually has two talented authors in our Writers-In-Residence program, one in prose (fiction and/or nonfiction) and one in poetry. We provide writers free drop-in circles for feedback and collaboration, writer welcome kits, manuscript consultations and other support.
Events: We bring Pulitzer Prize winners, poets laureate, community favorites, and new talents into Hugo House for discussions and readings. Some discuss their influences or reveal works in progress. Others collaborate with musicians or visual artists. In 2022 we continued our events in both in-person and online formats. Many of the events we present are free to the public with donations optional.
