Writing Toward Clarity: A Masterclass Weekend with Shara McCallum & Brian Turner
Presented by Alice James Books

Shara McCallum, author of Madwoman, and Brian Turner, author of Here, Bullet—two of Alice James Books’ most celebrated poets—lead this weekend of writing, readings, and conversation. Over two days, participants will generate new work, engage closely with one another’s poems, and explore questions of craft and process in a small, focused setting. Capped at 20 people, the virtual masterclass blends hands-on writing sessions, collaborative discussion, and an open dialogue about what it means to live as a writer.

This masterclass marks the beginning of a new seasonal series from AJB, offering unique access to our community of poets. If interest exceeds capacity, additional weekends will be offered. Future sessions may feature other AJB authors as well.

• Dates: TBD (Fall 2025)

• Online (All sessions listed in Eastern Time unless otherwise noted)

• Cost: $500 per participant

Includes signed books by both poets, AJB swag, and a recent AJB release.
