Since 2009, the Delta Mouth Literary Festival has been a flagship event for the literary arts in Baton Rouge. In partnership with the Louisiana State University Department of English, The Southern Review, New Delta Review, and the English Graduate School Association, we bring together renowned writers from across the nation for a three-day event that includes readings, panels, food, drinks, music, and a unique gathering of Baton Rouge’s creative community.

Our mission is to present internationally recognized and diverse literary talent to a Baton Rouge audience at no cost while celebrating Louisiana’s rich culture.
