I was honored to be asked to share a writing prompt for CHARM: Voices of Baltimore Youth, an inspiring literary magazine for teens. Seriously, check out their current project, “This is Not a Snow Day”, which documents life in Baltimore during COVID-19, from the point of view of our city’s youth.
CHARM hosts “Oh the Places Your Mind Can Go,” a weekly video series featuring local authors who invite you to explore the world without leaving your home. Everyone is welcome to pick up a pencil (or phone) and join these weekly writing journeys, AND you can submit your response to CHARMS’s online publication. (There are prizes, too!) Check out my episode (which of course puts a fantasy twist on the theme of place!), as well as previous episodes featuring YA novelist Karen Hattrup and memoirist and poet Sheri Booker, at http://linktr.ee/charmlitmag.
