Hugo House Fundraiser Write-O-Rama
This is a fundraiser for the Richard Hugo House that happens twice a year. We’re lucky to have such a vibrant writer’s center in our town, so please consider spending the day @ RHH. There will be two morning glimpses at Pacific Rim Poetics, but MANY other workshops as well. I hope to see you there. peN
Saturday, December 4, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Write-O-Rama is a full day of writing workshops. Sample more than 30 workshops offered by Hugo House teachers. Dabble in different forms and genres and share your fresh, new writing before the ink even dries at two open mics. Registration is $45-80. Please feel free to pick the registration level that is best for you. Proceeds from Write-O-Rama go to support the work we do here at Hugo House, from classes to resources for writers to readings and events. More information about Write-O-Rama, including the lengthy list of workshops, here.
