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 fee expression in their literary art.
The Fellow will be a
member of a supportive community that includes faculty members and
students in Brown's Department of Literary Arts and the Watson Institute
for International Studies. The fellowship will be accompanied by a
series of lectures, readings and other events that highlight the
national/regional artistic and political culture of the writer and
addresses the global issues of human rights and free expression. It will
provide 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.
To apply or to nominate a candidate, send a letter, providing publishing
history and explaining need, together with a resume, and a writing
sample (preferably in English) of creative work by the candidate to:

Brown University
Providence RI 02912
