imageFrom May 5 to 7, The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis will host a travel writing festival featuring workshops and discussions led by a dozen veteran writers and travelers. Among the participants are several writers familiar to World Hum readers, among them: Jason Wilson, series editor of Houghton Mifflin’s “The Best American Travel Writing” and a World Hum contributor, who will deliver the keynote address; World Hum books editor Frank Bures, who will lead discussions Saturday and Sunday entitled “See the World and Write About It”; and Catherine Watson, author of “Roads Less Traveled” and the former travel editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Watson wrote Incident in a Spanish Church and was recently the subject of a World Hum interview. A complete festival schedule can be found here.
