All Levels | Shirley Jackson award winner, Chavisa Woods (Things To Do When You’re Goth in the Country), will engage students in a writing exercise guaranteed to strengthen the impact of narrative, in-scene writing, and get students who may be blocked, writing again. The final hour will include a Q&A with the instructor on understanding the small press landscape, creating cover letters, bios, getting involved in literary communities, and submitting works for publication.

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.

Early bird discounts are available during the first two weeks of registration and apply to both general and member tuition rates.

For these classes, tuition increments starting at $5 and going up to 125% of the standard pricing will be listed on the page.
