From an impoverished childhood in White Center, Richard Hugo became a poetic chronicler of overlooked people and places. He wrote about life along the Duwamish River, about people who lived in shacks on the city’s outskirts. Drawing inspiration from SoHo’s 20th century warehouses, architect Marcello Pozzi’s design for the 20-story hotel mixes ground floor vertical gardens with miles of glass.
Events
His parents immigrated here and worked as street vendors for most of his life to give Hugo and his five siblings more opportunities than they had in Mexico. After his dad became disabled, Hugo started working at a non-union hotel at the age of 16 to help out his family. Shortly before graduating college, he joined with his coworkers to form a union – earning better working conditions and respect on the job.

If a class is intended for a specific level, it will be noted in the class description. In this city of ideas, there was no central place for readers and writers to meet and build new audiences for their work. We offer numerous programs for anyone looking to explore the written word. Some of these programs are application-based, and many are free and open to all. All Levels | For any writer, at any level, regardless of prior writing class experience.
Intermediate | For writers with some experience in genre-specific instruction who want to deepen their understanding and hone their craft, often featuring a workshop component. With any donation of $60 or more, our members get discounts for a wide range of bookstores, events, and Hugo House classes. Become a member or give the gift of membership to a writer in your life. We want Hugo House to be profoundly welcoming to all writers and readers, to advance racial equity, and to ensure diversity and inclusion. Tucked between SoHo and the Hudson, Hotel Hugo is a stylish and sophisticated hotel in Manhattan’s emerging West SoHo neighborhood.
Speaker Series
Whether you’re sipping a cocktail at the hotel’s sparkling glass-enclosed rooftop bar or enjoying your daily coffee at Felix Roasting Co., Hotel Hugo has a style and spirit all its own. Most classes are offered at a general and member tuition rates based on instruction hours, with Hugo House members receiving a 10% discount on classes fewer than six sessions. Introductory | For anyone new to writing or the writing workshop (critique) setting who wants to expand their knowledge of craft, or any writer exploring a new genre. Most classes at Hugo House are intended for writers with all levels of experience.
About Events at Hugo House
While there are no live sessions, asynchronous classes are still a lively and rigorous experience. Async classes are not static lessons but an adaptable and energetic community space. Be ready to work in a collaborative environment, giving and receiving feedback on your writing, participating in discussions, and growing your writing practice in a way that works best for you. Class lengths vary, from three-hour generative writing sessions to yearlong manuscript critiques.
Our programming brings people closer to the written word, and to each other. Linda Breneman (Jaech), Frances McCue, and Andrea Lewis founded Hugo House as a home for those who prize the written word. They named it for Richard Hugo, who etched the Northwest in verse and who taught so many others how to improve their work.
Write with Hugo House (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library) is a free drop-in writing circle for adults of all ages and genres of writing. In this session, we’ll focus on generative writing through poetry prompts. Hugo House is committed to being a place for all writers and readers. To help us achieve that goal, we offer a number of free programs and resources, as well as scholarships for paid courses and discounted memberships. We bring Pulitzer Prize winners, poets laureate, community favorites, and new talents into Hugo House for discussions and readings.
Works in Progress is Hugo House’s semi-monthly writing open mic series inclusive of diverse formats. Read your work—poetry, fiction, essays, memoirs, plays, music, comedy, and more—and connect with your literary community. Bring your class or group to Hugo House for an hour of creative writing instruction on anything from poetry to flash fiction, graphic novels to performance, and beyond. Students will work with one of our talented teaching artists to experiment with writing activities, respond to prompts, and share some of their work on stage in our Salon. Whether it’s a reading, discussion, craft talk, or interview, explore these events and more featuring renowned authors, emerging writers, and talented new and local voices.
We want to engage new groups of people, creating opportunities to connect more deeply with the power of the written word. Novelist David Guterson had won the PEN/Faulkner Award. Poet Denise Levertov was inspiring young writers with her work and activism. Hugo Soto-Martínez was born and raised in Los Angeles.
