Yearlong Manuscript Class in Prose
ABOUT YEARLONG CLASSES AT HUGO HOUSE
In weekly meetings over the course of the 2014-2015 academic year, class will provide advanced and dedicated writers with an intensive path toward finishing a publishable draft of a book. Whether you are early in the writing process or already have a rough draft, this yearlong course will help you set and active clear goals, as well as write and revise with intention. The first third of the class will focus on developing proficiency with the writing tools (craft elements) that you will need to use, and the remaining two thirds of the class will be comprised of workshops and writing toward personally devised deadlines. At the end of the year, there will be a two-day, weekend-long intensive on the book business and finding a market for your book, and Hugo House will host a culminating celebration and reading. Previous workshop experience required.
ABOUT THE YEARLONG CLASS IN PROSE
An updated version of last year’s first-ever yearlong class at Hugo House, this advanced course is for students working on either fiction or nonfiction. The class will contain a mix of genres, and the models we look at will be from excellent contemporary literary fiction and nonfiction.
No class Nov. 25, Dec. 16, Dec. 23, Dec. 30, Jan. 6, April 7.
Publishing Intensive Weekend: May 16 and May 17, 1–4 P.M.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
