AUTHOR FEATURE - Bren McClain

GEORGIA RADIO – Tune in on Monday, January 20th, at 12 PM
ET, as the celebrated, multi-award-winning southern
author Bren McClain takes to the Georgia Radio airwaves. Known
for her poignant storytelling and critically acclaimed works,
Bren will discuss her upcoming Master Prose Class at the 2025
Carrollton Book Fest.


With numerous accolades under her belt, including the esteemed
Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction, Bren’s mastery of the
written word has cemented her place among the South’s literary
greats. Now, she’s sharing her expertise with aspiring writers in
a highly interactive, day-long workshop designed to elevate their
craft.


Bren's goal is for each participant to leave not only with fresh
insight into their work but also with that all-important fire to
get back to the page.


A Workshop for Serious Writers


The Master Prose Class is limited to just 12 participants, making
the application process highly competitive. Writers are invited
to submit 1,000 words (preferably from the beginning of their
manuscript) by February 17, 2025. Submissions
must be anonymous to ensure fair evaluation.


The $25 submission fee, payable through EventBrite, is
non-refundable but will be applied toward the class fee of $100
if selected.


What to Expect


In the morning, participants will engage in guided feedback
sessions to uncover the strengths of their prose. The afternoon
will be dedicated to hands-on revising or creating new material,
ensuring that every attendee walks away with actionable insights
and tangible progress.


Selected participants will be notified by March 2,
2025, and must submit a longer piece (up to 2,500 words)
by March 16, 2025, for group distribution.


Don’t Miss This Opportunity


This is a rare chance to learn from one of the South’s most
distinguished literary voices. Tune in to Georgia Radio on
Monday, January 20th, to hear Bren McClain share
insights about her craft, her love of teaching, and what
attendees can expect from her Master Prose Class.
