Book Lab 2026 applications close soon!

You finished your book draft. You may even have revised, reworked, and wrestled with it more than once. You’ve taken your manuscript as far as you can on your own. Now you’re staring at it wondering:
Is this ready? What’s next?

Book Lab is Hugo House's nine-month manuscript incubator, designed to help writers transform a completed or almost completed draft into a manuscript that’s ready to submit for publication or agent consideration.

✨ Craft and industry talks from published authors and agents
✨ Professional preparation, including pitch practice
✨ Dedicated writing time and space to sustain momentum

Join Samar Abulhassan on Tuesday, September 1 at 6 PM PT for a free online creative writing circle designed to help you shake off perfectionism and fall back in love with making things.

Each session features new prompts and approaches. Push past what you think writing should be and plunge into the strange, chaotic, and ephemeral to discover what it can be. Most of all, it's a chance to give yourself—and your fellow writers—permission to create without expectation.

Leave with new work, fresh energy, and a renewed sense of joy and pleasure in creating.

Open to adults of all ages.

ICYMI, applications for Book Lab with Tara Conklin and Sonora Jha are open!

A lot of hard work goes into a published book: the first draft, revisions, rewrites…and that’s before you even submit your manuscript for publication.

Book Lab is a nine-month manuscript incubator for writers ready to transform a completed draft into a submission-ready manuscript. You’ll get craft guidance, a full editorial read of your manuscript, individualized mentorship from a bestselling author and seasoned educator, workshops, accountability and community, professional preparation, and a clear plan for what comes next.

The 2026 season begins in late September. Spots are limited.
