SMILE, HON contributor throws down at Literary Death Match this Thursday!

BALTIMORE, Md. - Literary Death Match (LDM) returns to one of its favorite cities, this time pairing with the masterminds at Creative Alliance to put on a talent-soaked episode in what could stand as the LDM Event of the Year, beginning at 8:00 p.m. this Thursday, January 27, 2011, at the Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21224.

The panel of all-star arbiters will feature playwright and Nommo Theatre cofounder Bashi Rose, The Stoop Storytelling co-producer/host Jessica Henkin, and brain-bending artist Joyce J. Scott (a.k.a. "The Queen of Beadwork").

The three judges will preside over four scribes reading seven minutes or less as they battle for the LDM crown, including: war-zone hopping author Dan Fesperman (Lie in the Dark, Layover in Dubai), poet-performing powerhouse Leonard Gontarek (author of Déjà Vu Diner), minimalist master Joe Young (author of Easter Rabbit — Publishing Genius 2009) and must-see Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore! rep Davida Gypsy Breier (contributor to Ninety-Five: Meeting America's Farmed Animals in Stories and Photographs).

Hosted by LDM creator Todd Zuniga & LDM producer Ann Heatherington.
