Yellow Arrow Publishing is based in Baltimore, Maryland, and loves supporting the array of diverse neighborhoods within the incredible city. And through our 2022 Writers-in-Residence program, the four chosen residents will be weaving the influence of their Baltimore experiences with their words. We encourage our Writers-in-Residence to take inspiration from the Baltimore community by writing in spaces representative of their neighborhood, and we hope that Charm City’s influence is present in their writing. Starting today and continuing through May, our residents will write, collaborate, and grow. Yellow Arrow commits to motivating, supporting, and amplifying their voices.
Every writer has a story to tell and every story is worth telling. We are so proud of everyone within the Yellow Arrow community. Without further ado, let’s meet the 2022 Yellow Arrow Writers-in-Residence!
