Piper Wetzel recently interviewed Duluth author Michael Fedo for the Lake Superior Writers blog. Her interview, "Minnesota Writers Spotlight on Michael Fedo," looks at Fedo's career. Fedo, native to the Duluth area, is a prolific author. His works include over 50 published short stories and 10 books. Arguably one of his most well-known works is The Lynchings in Duluth.
Piper Wetzel is a college student born and raised in Minnesota. She attends the University of Minnesota Duluth and is majoring in English, Public History, and Writing Studies with certificates in Museum Studies and Creative Writing. She grew up in a middle-class family in a small town in central Minnesota before moving to Duluth for college. Some of her favorite books include Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, and Gone Girl (read into that what you will). She hopes to one day make it in publishing and is considering pursuing a joint JD and MA in English before breaking into the industry, or moving to late 1800s London and becoming a street urchin.
