Hi Meghana,
It depends on which university you're applying to. Call the two departments and the Office of Admissions to inquire if they will take your score this way.
From what I know, most universities don't ask you to submit GRE scores if you're applying for a literature or a writing course
However, it's always a good idea to give it and have your scores in hand, just in case
It gives you an edge
Still, the main focus will be on your portfolio
