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.
