About Hugo House
Our Vision & Mission—
Hugo House is for writers – from their first words to their last. It’s a place to read
words, hear words, and make your own words better.
Our Work
Since our 1996 founding by Linda Breneman, Andrea Lewis, and Frances McCue (our
first executive director), Hugo House has been the writer’s greatest ally. We have an open
door, welcoming all writers. We combine fun and rigor to help writers find the red-hot
center of what’s meaningful. We have an active youth program including workshops,
mentorships, writing groups, and open mic nights, along with a Youth Leadership
Board to develop young writers.
In February, Hugo House played a major role in the AWP conference, the annual
gathering of 13,000 writers that was held in Seattle for the first time in decades, during
which we:
• Hosted twelve offsite events in four days at Hugo House with nationally
distinguished publishers and organizations as partners
• Gave out information at our busy booth on the bookfair floor
• Presented the culminating reading of the conference with Sherman Alexie and Tim
Egan to an audience of 2,000
In other highlights of the past year, we:
• Inaugurated a Spoken Word Camp for teens
• Launched an all-new website that’s easier to use and boasts a new logo
• Instigated the Word Works series of craft talks/interview events with writers such as
Pam Houston, Bob Shacochis, Sven Birkerts, and Major Jackson discussing specific
elements of writing, such as dialogue, metaphor, structure, or time
• Saw major increases in class enrollments by increasing the quality, quantity, and range
of classes, including our first year-long manuscript class
• Included Anthony Doerr, David Guterson, Richard Bausch, Chris Abani, Roxane
Gay, Natalie Diaz, and other writers in our Hugo Literary Series, which we increased in
number from 4 to 5
• Hosted readings with writers Peter Orner, Jennine Capó Crucet, David Gates, and
many others
