Creative Writing — Poetry, Fiction, Essays, and student voices from Berkeley and beyond.
A literary space for poems, short stories, and experimental writing from Berkeley students and guest contributors across the Bay.
Winter Workshop 1.0
Winter Workshop 1.0 marks The Berkeley Pulse’s first curated creative release of the year — an intentional gathering of emerging student and community voices brought together through workshop, conversation, and creative risk. Rather than an open submission call, this issue reflects a selective, dialog-driven process rooted in craft, vulnerability, and experimentation. Each piece here has passed through a shared editorial space that values voice over polish and sincerity over trend.
