About the magazine
Hugo House is a literary arts center in Seattle, Washington, founded in 1998 as a gathering place for writers of all levels. Its mission is to provide a supportive and rigorous environment where writers can develop their craft, share work, and engage with the literary community. Through workshops, readings, and residencies, Hugo House has become a vital hub for the Pacific Northwest's literary ecosystem, emphasizing accessibility and artistic growth. The center offers a range of programs, including youth and adult classes, free drop-in writing sessions, and the competitive Book Lab program, which supports writers in completing book-length manuscripts. Hugo House's ethos is rooted in the belief that writing is both a solitary and communal practice, and it fosters a culture of constructive feedback and literary experimentation.

For programs like Book Lab, applicants should submit a strong writing sample that demonstrates a clear project vision and readiness for intensive revision. Hugo House values diverse voices and stories, so authenticity and a distinct perspective are key. It's advisable to review past Book Lab authors and attend information sessions to understand expectations. For workshops, early registration is recommended as popular classes fill quickly. Financial aid is available, and the organization encourages writers from underrepresented communities to apply.
