Submissions are open for Yellow Arrow Vignette LUMINATE until June 15. Now in its fifth summer, Yellow Arrow is delighted to continue its online series. We began Vignette to further expand our mission of creating a space for writers who identify as women, giving them room to have their voices heard and to ripple out in waves of empathy and resilience.

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 be shaken, electrified into vivid color
: 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 Vignette LUMINATE is looking for poetry, creative nonfiction, and cover art by creatives who identify as women with a connection to the Baltimore area.

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.”
