Winter 2026 Classes.png
Supporting writers in Berkeley since 2016.

Left Margin LIT is a creative writing workspace offering classes, camaraderie, and mentorship to East Bay writers of all backgrounds and experience levels. We also offer online classes and programs to writers who don't live in the Bay Area.

We aim to promote storytelling and poetry as vital elements of a healthy city: enriching dialogue, building community, and supporting a culture of creativity and tolerance.

Testimonials

"When writers talk about local classes I always say Left Margin LIT has the most creative and interesting programming."
