This annual anthology features the written work of young adults in the Pacific Northwest, some of which was read live on the Word (of mouth) stage at Northwest Bookfest.

Using the packaging from a mid-century pair of hip-waders as my muse design , I crafted the cover & promotional copy with a tongue-&-cheek voice spouting the positive effects of literature on one’s well-being.
