Ann Bradley
THE LESBIAN WRITERS SERIES
Ann Bradley, founder
A DIFFERENT LIGHTS BOOKS
The LESBIAN WRITERS SERIES (LWS) was created and launched by Ann Bradley on Saturday, February 18, 1984 at A DIFFERENT LIGHT BOOKS (ADL), the first gay/lesbian bookstore in Los Angeles.
ADL opened in Oct 1979 at 4014 Santa Monica Blvd at the Sunset Junction in Silver Lake. Bradley began at ADL as a clerk on Sunday, November 20, 1983 and worked at the store through November 1985. She continued producing the LWS through 1990.
On Monday, January 16, 1984, Bradley drove with writer Carolyn Weathers to Pam Robert’s Three Guineas Bookstore in Newport Beach, California for Weather’s reading of her memoir LEAVING TEXAS. Inspired by Weather’s exquisite talent and seeking to form a regular showcase for lesbian authors, Bradley approached ADL’s manager John Ruggles and co-founder (with ADL owner Norman Laurila) Richard LaBonte about establishing a regular writers series for lesbians. Author Carolyn Weathers, whose work Bradley had admired since late 1980, inspired her to launch the series and was the first author to appear on Saturday, February 18, 1984.
The LWS was held at ADL in the 4014 Santa Monica Blvd in Silver Lake (the flagship ADL store) on the third Saturday of the month for the first 8 years.
Initially, the Los Angeles Times would not use the word lesbian in listing the monthly third Saturday Lesbian Writers Series in its calendar, terming it the “Women’s Writers Series.” Bradley directed, curated, produced and promoted the Lesbian Writers Series from 1984-1989 and curated the 1990 season that was presented by Gail Suber.
Carolyn Weathers and her then partner Jenny Wrenn opened and ran CLOTHESPIN FEVER PRESS dedicated to the work of lesbian authors. Clothespin Fever Press published IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT the compilation of the first seven years of the LWS under Bradley’s direction LWS in 1989.
The LWS was the first writer's series in the country to showcase and celebrate the work of lesbian authors. While lesbians appeared at numerous events and readings previously, many remained closeted about their identity as lesbians, even at such lesbian-creative venues as the Los Angeles Woman's Building.
Gail Suber took over as host in 1990 and helped Sophia Corleone curate the 1991 LWS. Writer and producer Sophia Corleone who first read publicly on the LWS in 1988 assumed full direction and curated the LWS from 1991 and produced the LWS and all of its public reading and events though November 1998. The last public reading was held at Plummer Park auditorium in West Hollywood on Sat November 14, 1998; lesbian icon and Lesbian Herstory Archives founder Joan Nestle read that Saturday November 14, 1998 evening. Ms. Nestle had first appeared on the LWS on Saturday, January 21, 1989, during a week-long schedule of appearances supported in part by UCLA's Center for the Study of Women.
Margaret Smith then an assistant director at UCLA/CSW was motivated to produce a series on LWS when after UCLA students began the nation's first lesbian sorority Lamda Delta Lamda at UCLA in February 1988. (note: http://articles.latimes.com/1988-02-24/local/me-11690_1_lambda-delta-lambda-sorority)
Margaret Smith was struck that these brave, intelligent young women were unaware of much of their own lesbian history. Smith produced a series on lesbian literature and history from 1988 through early 1989 sponsored by the UCLA Women's Studies Department and UCLA and the CSW, bringing pivotal lesbian authors and leaders to UCLA including Audre Lorde.
LWS founder Bradley approached Margaret Smith in the fall of 1988 asking that Nestle be included in the lesbian series Smith was developing and asking that UCLA’s CSW co-sponsor Nestle’s Southern California visit. Nestle's Thursday January 19, 1989 appearance at UCLA was one of several appearances that also included Nestle at California State University, Los Angeles on Friday January 20 and at UC Irvine on Wednesday January 18.
This was Nestle's first Southern California appearance. In 1974 Nestle founded the nation's first lesbian archives, the LESBIAN HERSTORY ARCHIVES (LHA) with her then-partner Deborah Edel. The LHA was originally housed in the Manhattan apartment she shared with Edel until LHA bought its current Brooklyn home through small donations from lesbians worldwide, including more than $800 that UCLA’s CSW allowed to be collected from those attending the January 19, 1989 event at UCLA. Nestle's week-long appearances ended at the Lesbian Writers Series at ADL on Saturday January 21, 1989.
Sophia Corleone entered Smith College sometime after 1998 and designated the LWS as a 501C3 and established a LWS mentorship program.
Bradley was first honored by A Different Light Books on Friday, October 19, 1990 for founding the LWS. That evening Carolyn Weathers, Eloise Klein Healy and Sophia Corleone, all invited by Bradley, read as part of a program honoring Bradley and the LWS.
On Sunday, March 28, 2004, ONE Archives celebrated the 20th anniversary of the LWS:

ONE NATIONAL GAY & LESBIAN ARCHIVES CELEBRATES
20TH ANNIVERSARY OF FOUNDING OF THE LESBIAN WRITERS SERIES
SUNDAY AFTERNOON REUNION MARCH 28
Clothespin Fever Press Founders Carolyn Weathers and Jenny Wrenn Honored
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Stuart Timmons, 213 741-0094
Friday, January 22, 2004
Los Angeles—ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives is proud to announce a reunion celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Lesbian Writers Series, which helped launch the careers of dozens of lesbian writers who have since become locally and nationally recognized. This free event will take place at ONE, located at 909 West Adams Blvd., on Sunday March 28 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. For information call 213 741-0094.
The Lesbian Writers Series was born February 18, 1984 at the flagship store of A Different Light Books in the Silver Lake section of Los Angeles. The Series ran at the store through 1992 when the Silver Lake store closed, moving to A Different Light Bookstore’s West Hollywood location in 1992; it continued through the 1990s at West Hollywood Park.
Since 1984, the Series introduced thousands of women to the lesbian literary community, and inspired dozens of women writers to express their lesbian identities with their literary craft, some for the first time in their careers.
The Lesbian Writers Series, begun as a volunteer program with barely enough funding for fliers, helped nurture a generation of writers and poets. Series alumnae include Dorothy Allison, Alice Bloch, Terri de la Pena, Ayofemi Folayan, Katherine Forrest, Eloise Klein Healy, Robin Podolsky, Sarah Schulman, Kitty Tsui, Terry Wolverton and dozens of other writers.
The event will also honor Carolyn Weathers and Jenny Wrenn, founders and publishers of Clothespin Fever Press, who formed the enterprise to publish lesbian authors. In 1989, Clothespin Fever Press published an anthology of the first five years of the Lesbian Writers Series entitled, In A Different Light.
Weathers was the inspiration for the Series when then-bookstore clerk Ann Bradley of Silver Lake in Los Angeles heard her read her stunningly-beautiful memoir Leaving Texas in January 1984 and was compelled to launch a showcase for lesbian writers.
As Bradley wrote in the introduction to In A Different Light “I have been asked over the years what inspired me to begin the Series. First was hearing Carolyn Weathers read her work and knowing I wanted her to inaugurate the Series. Secondly, I had regularly attended readings throughout California and had been keenly aware that while these events included numerous lesbians, that aspect of the writer’s identity was never acknowledged. In some cases it was the writer herself who never discussed either in her work or her introduction that she was a lesbian. . .The Series was created to make that acknowledgement with pride, bravado and quality.”
Long Beach residents Weathers and Wrenn continue as writers and artists; both are also librarians, Weathers at the San Pedro branch of Los Angeles Public Library and Wrenn at West Hollywood Library, a community library of the County of Los Angeles Public Library.
ONE Institute board member Rita Gonzales of Burbank said the March 28 event is being held to honor those who attended the Series and those who supported Clothespin Fever Press. “We honor the coordinators, the writers and Carolyn and Jenny and, even more, we honor those who attended and who bought the books. This is a celebration of the audience and the readers. We love you!”
The Lesbian Writers Series was coordinated by Bradley through 1990 and then run by long-time supporter and community leader Gail Suber of Santa Monica who also helped edit In A Different Light. It was later established as an independent enterprise by writer and producer Sophia Corleone of Silver Lake in Los Angeles, who mounted an inspired program through the 1990s including such notables as Angela Davis.
Both Suber and Corleone attended the Series from the first year; Corleone debuted as a writer on the Series. Bradley, Corleone and Suber collaborated on landmark Series events such as the January 1989 week-long visit by Lesbian Herstory Archives co-founder Joan Nestle. Corleone brought Nestle back twice for appearances in the 1990s.
ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives houses the world’s largest research library on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and trans-gendered heritage and concerns. Located in a building provided by the University of Southern California, ONE is a USC-affiliated library. Its holdings include more than 20,000 books, periodicals, art, photographs, and more than a million papers documenting lesbian and gay politics, culture, and life.
ONE is located at 909 West Adams Blvd., between Figueroa Blvd and Hoover Street; ample street parking is available. For further information, call 213.741.0094 or log onto www.oneinstitute.org.

Gathering Celebrates Literary Series for Lesbian Writers
Founded in 1984, the readings have provided a platform for women to share prose and poetry.
Los Angeles
March 29, 2004|Jia-Rui Chong | Times Staff Writer
Twenty years ago -- before Ellen DeGeneres came out and before the "L-word" entered the mainstream vocabulary -- the Lesbian Writers Series began raising the visibility of women who wished to publicly acknowledge their lesbian identity.
About 60 people gathered Sunday to celebrate the literary series, a platform for women to share their work and confront their identity. The gathering also paid tribute to Clothespin Fever Press, the area's first commercial book publisher dedicated to lesbian authors.
Over the years, some 300 women -- and a handful of men -- have read their poetry and prose before audiences at local bookstores. Distinguished lesbian authors such as Joan Nestle often made their first public readings in California at the Lesbian Writers Series. The event also attracted such literary stars as June Jordan and Angela Y. Davis.
Ann Bradley was working as a clerk at the gay and lesbian bookstore A Different Light when she founded the series in 1984. At the time, she was frustrated by the fact that women writers reading their works would not acknowledge their homosexuality, Bradley said.
"This silence was very toxic, humiliating and ultimately degrading," Bradley said. As a result, she started her showcase at the bookstore with one rule: If you read at the Lesbian Writers Series, your name was announced on the publicity materials. You couldn't hide in the closet.
This was a big deal at a time when people could be fired or attacked for being anything other than heterosexual, Bradley said.
For example, she said, in the early 1980s, "You could put elected officials in office that we all knew were gay, but they wouldn't come out and say it."
At the event at the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, a library affiliated with USC, many attendees credited the Lesbian Writers Series with helping them learn about their sexual identity and shape lesbian consciousness in general. It provided a place to meet other intelligent, questioning women.
"I thought, in my young adult life, I was the only lesbian on the planet," said 42-year-old Angela Brinskele, who grew up in Orange County.
She said that just before she attended her first writers series, her college had disbanded all its clubs rather than allow a gay club.
She couldn't believe that an event could fill a bookstore with lesbians regularly on Saturday nights and speak openly of themes such as gay-bashing, women's desires for other women and changing the oil in a car. "I thought it was a dream," she said.
The accepting atmosphere inspired one woman to read a love poem to her partner, an elected official who has never publicly acknowledged her sexuality, said Stuart Timmons, who was a clerk at A Different Light in the early 1980s.
The open nature of the series was part of the magic, he said, allowing hundreds of women to deal with their public and private personas.
Timmons, who now serves as ONE's executive director, said he saw the writers series as history in the making.
"Simply being in the presence of so many women who were lesbians and writing about their lives was taking the political movement to the second step of creating a cultural record," he said.
Timmons, encouraged by the success of the lesbian series, started a gay male writers series.
The Lesbian Writers Series appeared at a critical moment in the definition of the gay and lesbian movement, said Robin Podolsky, a well-known local writer who read in front of an audience for the first time in 1984.
"There was all this horror at the death associated with the AIDS crisis," said Podolsky, who now serves as a press deputy for state Sen. Sheila Kuehl (D-Santa Monica). "We needed to respond with something positive, something creative, rather than responding with horror."
In addition to its slate of readings, the current series coordinator said, the program also plans to pair emerging lesbian writers with established authors to help the new writers produce a publishable work.
"For many years [the Lesbian Writers Series] was absolutely the only place where lesbian-themed authors could safely share their work," Sophia Corleone said. "It many ways, this is still true."
