Bangladesh Lekhak Shibir was established in 1970 as Lekhak Sangram Shibir by liberal Bengali writers Ahmed Sharif, Humayun Kabir, Sardar Fazlul Karim, Ahmed Sofa, and Serajul Islam Choudhury. It was renamed to Bangladesh Lekhak Shibir in 1972. In 1976 the organisation expanded to include dancers, painters, singers, and cultural activists.
