Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Bestselling author Miriam Toews coming to Festival of Words

By Lisa Goudy



Miriam Toews can’t wait to interact with readers and authors at the Saskatchewan Festival of Words.

“With any festival, there’s that opportunity to sort of get an immediate response to your work, to meet readers and to see that there are actually people reading your books,” she said. “A lot of us, if we have books out in a certain year, we travel the same circuit at festivals and so it’s always nice to catch up with friends of mine who are writers.”
