SPOKANE, WASH—The jig is up ... Scrawl Place has been stealthily dipping its toes into book publishing. What began as a personal DIY, self-publishing project by Andy Brown has become a series of brief, personal travelogues by contemporary authors.

From coffee to a book

After publishing a couple concepts for Writer In Sites (WIS), Andy Brown started sharing it with contributors to Scrawl Place. During a trip through Baltimore, he met Annie Marhefka for coffee.

He said, “Someday I’d like other people to write one of these. If you’re interested, I’d like you to think about being one of those people.”

She said, “I like this idea. Why don’t we try to do it now?”

Yes and yes.

A day in Baltimore

So there you have it. Annie spent the day exploring places new and familiar to her. She wrote a soulful ode to longing that is also a love letter to the city she knows and loves.

You can follow Annie and hopefully it will inspire you to create your own itinerary in the place you love.
