Eden Stein has lived in SF since 1999. Her first experience with writing was in the 2nd grade when she wrote a poem that got published. Throughout her teenage years, she wrote a zine called 7th Street that was sponsored by Maximum Rock & Roll and got global recognition. She traveled all over the US and Europe interviewing bands, documenting life, and going on adventures. When she moved to San Francisco in the late 90's she got a degree in creative writing from San Francisco State. In 2007, she opened the award-winning Secession Art & Design in Mission Bernal. Her gallery and boutique is home to over 70 independent artist and designers. Storytelling and content creation is a huge part of curating and owning a store. Hosting and reading at Litcrawl connects her to her roots as a writer.
