Achievements
I am a queer writer, maker and curator. My short stories, poetry and non-fiction have been published in Queer Life, Queer Love 2 (an anthology by Muswell Press), Annie Journal, Booth Journal, Snowflake Magazine, Meniscus Literary Journal, Tension Literary, The Bombay Review, The Bittersweet Review, Penumbra Literary, Obscene Pomegranate, Unbound Zine, Transforming Being (an anthology by Bridgehouse Publishing), All Existing and Texlandia Magazine. My writing has also been shortlisted for the Creative Future 2024 Writers' Award, and commended in the Moth Short Story Prize 2025, and I have just won one of Spread the Word’s 30th Anniversary LGBTQIA+ Emerging Writer Commissions. I have performed at Hay Festival, Last Word Festival and Brainchild Festival as part of the Roundhouse Poetry Collective, and run a queer curated arts and literary magazine and platform called t’ART. I am currently editing my debut manuscript which I developed on the Creative Writing MFA at Birkbeck University.
I am the founder, co-editor and designer of queer arts and lit mag t'ART Magazine. I work editorially with poets, prose writers and short story writers. If you're interested in working with me as an editor, I'd love to hear from you. Send me an email on finnbrownwrites@gmail.com with details of your project! I also design the magazine and curate our art exhibitions.
