LUMINATE is elemental, existential. Without a light source, there is only darkness. This is why we want to shine a neon light onto Baltimore creatives this year.

: to blare with welcome
: to embrace and celebrate the self that has been contained for too long
: to buzz with audacity
: to seep into darkness
: to call others like you to find their home

Yellow Arrow Publishing would like to introduce Lindsay A. Chudzik, a board member. Lindsay has been a community-engaged professor and practitioner for over 15 years, currently serving as the coordinator of engagement and service-learning at the University of Baltimore. Lindsay says, “I met some of the staff for Yellow Arrow at CityLit Fest last spring, and I was immediately drawn to their mission, as most of the creative and scholarly work I’ve done has centered around elevating the voices of women and girls. I also knew I needed to get involved in the literary community in Baltimore. Though relatively new here, I consider Baltimore my soulmate city. The key piece missing was a connection to other writers, but Yellow Arrow felt like a natural fit.”
