Welcome to Literary Arts at Brown

For fifty years, Literary Arts at Brown University has been a creative and intellectual center for a diverse and innovative literary community. Along with a handful of other writing programs nationwide, Brown provides a home for  writers who are envisioning new paths in fiction, poetry, digital language arts, and mixed media. 

The online MFA application may be accessed starting around the middle of September; the deadline is 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time 15 December. No late applications will be considered and no changes/updates to applications or writing samples will be accepted.

Literary Arts at Brown congratulates Forrest Gander, Adele Kellenberg Seaver Professor Emeritus, who has been selected as the recipient of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry.
