most fascinating places. Participants will be traveling to <?xml:namespace
prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Nairobi,
the equatorial island of Lamu, and all points in-between. There are many
exciting additions to this year's offerings, including a landmark meeting of
editors from across the African continent and the rest of the world to
discuss the state of writing and publishing in Africa.
