SMU Literati
ABOUT US
SMU Literati is a student club under the Arts and Cultural Fraternity (ACF) cluster that specialises in literature and poetry. A recreational club in nature, we promote the expression of literature in written and spoken form amongst SMU students, and partake in Singapore’s literary scene. We strive to cater to the interests of students where literature and poetry are concerned.
You may expect writing opportunities from our collaborative initiatives with Migrant Writers of Singapore, SMU ArtsFest, and more. We also have Writing Circles where members can bounce writing ideas off one another, and receive feedback from your fellow writers. You may also anticipate the publication of Literati’s first-ever anthology!

"I've met some of the most interesting and passionate people through Literati. It is definitely a community that is dedicated to writing even amidst the mess that is university life. To create and capture the intricacies of life amidst our hectic schedules, is an art form I would not want to miss."
- Rachelle, School of Social Sciences, Year 3 (President)
"SMU Literati is a calm breeze in the hailstorm of academics. It's given me a comforting avenue to express myself creatively. I'm glad to be a part of a warm community of writers who support, push, and help each other grow through contests and insightful workshops all year round."
