The Santa Fe International Literary Festival has been a big draw in its first years of existence, and the 2024 gathering May 17-19 is expected to continue that trend. Author and journalist Carmella Padilla, a co-founder of the festival and a native New Mexican, joins "Conversations Different" to talk about how the event came to be and how it has had success in attracting world-renowned authors. She also previews this year's stacked lineup of storytellers and shares the story of how she became a writer.
