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.

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 National Gallery of Singapore, Migrant Writers of Singapore and BeKindSG. 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!
​
Our key events include typewriter workshops, literary discussions, poetry competitions and writing exchanges.

SMU Literati has been great in providing me with a platform to express myself creatively through words. Writing for the weekly prompts was a great outlet for my stress throughout the semester 😊
