Deadline: February 15, 2018
The Brown International Writers Project is currently seeking nominations and applications for its one-year fellowship with residency.
The Fellowship is designed to provide sanctuary and support for established creative writers – fiction writers, playwrights, and poets – who are persecuted in their home countries or are actively prevented from pursuing free expression in their literary art.
The Fellow will be a member of a supportive community that includes faculty members and graduate students in Brown’s Department of Literary Arts and the Watson Institute for International Studies, co-sponsors of the Project. The fellowship will be accompanied by a series of lectures, readings and other events that highlight the national artistic and political culture of the writer and address the global issues of human rights and free expression.
Benefits:
It will include
- a stipend
- relocation funds,
- and health benefits.
- Brown will aid the writer in the visa and relocation process
- and provide administrative support, equipment and office space on the Brown campus in Providence, Rhode Island.
How to apply:

Literary Arts, Box 1923, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912,
