Writing Time with Some Greats

Wow! The Festival of Faith & Writing at Calvin College will be featuring Pulitzer-Prize winner Marilynne Robinson, National Book Award winner Walter Wangerin, young turks like Tony Earley and Jonathan Safron Foer, Newberry Award winners, respected poets and so much more!

$175 registration is slated for early November, for April 19-21 Festival. Don't think you can't afford it until you've poked through their website, as it continues to get more robust.

It's not to be missed if you want to discover what's happening in the world of letters and the world of Christian letters, especially. There's a lot of brave writing around faith these days and this festival captures it all.

Festival of Faith and Writing 2008

This Thursday through Saturday, April 17-19 I’ll be attending the Festival of Faith and Writing at Calvin College in Grand Rapids , MI. I’ve requested interviews with Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Chabon, Mann Booker Award-winner Yann Martel, Christian favorite Francine Rivers, and the Bridge of Terabitha author, among others. No word back yet, but I'm hopeful.

Whatever happens, I’ll be reporting daily from the conference on sister blog Word.

If you've never attended a literary festival, put this one on your calendar for 2010 (it's bi-annual), as they've always got fascinating programming.
