Ali Liebegott (born August 8, 1971) is an award-winning American author, poet, and teacher. She has taught creative writing at University of California, San Diego and Mills College. She currently lives in San Francisco. Liebegott is a recipient of a Poetry Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts. As of 2013[update] she has written three books: The Beautifully Worthless; The IHOP Papers; and Cha-Ching.
Ali Liebegott currently[update] lives in San Francisco and teaches at Mills. She has traveled the U.S. extensively, including touring on Sister Spit's Ramblin' Road Show with longtime gal pal Michelle Tea. Traveling and the open road are recurrent themes in Liebegott's work, which often provides her with the context to explore the experiences of living on the margins, from perspectives beyond that of straight male privilege. When asked about the lack of female road stories in contemporary literature, Liebegott has expressed that there isn't a lack of female road narratives, so much as there aren't enough publishers choosing to print these works.
Liebegott is the managing director at RADAR Productions a non-profit in San Francisco whose mission is to "give voice to innovative queer and outsider writers and artists whose work authentically reflects the LGBTQA community's diverse experiences." RADAR Productions holds an annual artists' retreat in Mexico that Liebegott helps run. In addition, she is the founding editor at Writers Among Artists whose first publication, Faggot Dinosaur, was released in 2012.
