STILL TIME TO SIGN UP AS A 30/30 WRITER
|
|
It may not give you that clean-cut "beginning of the month" feeling, but we'd still love for you to sign on to write for 30 (or more) minutes a day for 30 days. Simply start today and go til Nov. 22, or write 90 minutes a day until the end of this month! Either way, you'll form a valuable writing habit while also...
... raising money for Hugo House! At $16,500, we're a little more than halfway to our goal of $30,000. Can you sign on to help us continue to support writers?

Not feeling like signing up but want to donate anyway? We suggest supporting our intrepid group of teen writers, the Young Hugonauts. Here's their page, where they've already raised $510 and are in fourth place as a team!

TAKE A SURVEY, WIN A CLASS
|
|
A writer's life isn't the easiest path. That's why we want to cater to you, the writer, in everything we do—to make it just a little bit more manageable.
But to do that, we need your feedback. If you take the time to fill out this fifteen-minute survey before Nov. 1, you'll be entered to win a six-week class. (And if you already did, thanks!)
