Alyson Shelton

Alyson Shelton writes about women across mediums + genres. In the film, To Hold The Night, she tackles a psychological thriller through fractured realities and self-invention. In her comic Reburn she centers a superpowered and mutli-faceted heroine, and in Eve of Understanding, the award winning feature she wrote and directed, the narrative delves into childhood secrets and their ongoing repercussions. She hosts a weekly Instagram Live series inspired by George Ella Lyon’s poem, “Where I’m From,” where she’s welcomed over 150 writers and creatives. And her own “Where I’m From” poem provides the spine for her memoir in essays, currently in revision. Her writing has been published widely at outlets including The New York Times, Ms., The Rumpus and more. She is thrilled to be a contributor to the forthcoming essay collection, Comics Lit Vol. 1 , to host her podcast, Fine Cut for Femme On Collective and to be co-founding a Sibling Loss community and co-editing an anthology entitled, The Loss of a Lifetime: Advice from Grieving Siblings on Loss, Love and Hope.  You can learn more about her through her website, www.alysonshelton.com and her Instagram @byalysonshelton
