Strata Masterclass for Writers of Color | "Inheritance" with Shara McCallum

The weekend of April 21-23, we continue our Strata Masterclass series for writers of color, led this spring by faculty member and recent Hurston/Wright Legacy Award winner Shara McCallum, who will focus on the theme of "Inheritance." Writers should be willing to commit to participating in every portion of the program and have a serious interest in learning how to strengthen their writing.

Of the programming, McCallum writes, "As writers of color, we carry many forms of inheritance, not all of which coexist easily in us. This is true of our literary influences, those works we’ve studied and imbibed, which alternately may nurture and inspire us, challenge and trouble us. This is true of the personal and public histories we bring to bear on our writing, which often place ethical as much as craft demands upon us. In this weekend gathering, through craft talks, classes, workshops, and discussion, we’ll write into and out of our varied inheritances while querying the concept itself."

When: 
Friday, April 21-Sunday, April 23, 2023, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Pacific Time, on Zoom (with midday breaks)

Cost: $80 for the three-day session
