Welcome to Literary Arts at Brown

For over 40 years, Literary Arts at Brown University has been a creative and intellectual center for the U.S. literary avant-garde.  Along with a handful of other writing programs nationwide, Brown provides a home for innovative writers of fiction, poetry, digital language arts, and mixed media. 

The online MFA application may be accessed starting in early September; the deadline is 15 December. No late applications will be considered and no changes/updates to applications or writing samples will be accepted.

Friend us on Facebook to keep up-to-date on all that we do.  

In conjunction with other departments, Literary Arts is hosting Art & Ecological Responsibility, a three-week exploration of the potentials of aesthetics in and of the environment.
