About UsLiterary Traveler is dedicated to the exploration of the literary imagination. We hope to bring you inspiring, informative articles about writers, creative artists, and the places that they lived and traveled. Literary Traveler has been featured in The New York Times, and The USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal. Literary Traveler was launched in March of 1998 by the husband and wife team of Linda and Francis McGovern. The McGoverns met while studying English at Suffolk University, in Boston. Their love of literature and travel inspired them to create Literary Traveler.
Linda received her master's in Interdisciplinary Studies from Lesley University. Before Literary Traveler, she was at The Atlantic Monthly, where she had the opportunity to work with the travel editor Barbara Wallraff. "Great literature, like great travel is essentially about experience, one you read, the other you live, both reveal what is true. That's what we are trying to do with Literary Traveler, and when I tell people about it. They say, 'That is a great idea, it is about time somebody did that.' " Linda gets the credit for sparking the idea of Literary Traveler. On the day they met, she suggested that she wanted to travel and write. Francis took it to heart and and they have been at it ever since.
Francis was at Walking Magazine and then spent three years at Lycos.com where he served as a product manager for their suite of personalization products including My Fidelity and My Lycos. He has also worked as a search engine consultant. "We hope that when people read a book, and then visit Literary Traveler to learn about the author, and the places they lived and traveled - they become inspired to read and travel more, and maybe they even start writing themselves. They start exploring their literary imagination - they become part of what they have read and it is always with them." - Francis McGovern For press inquiries please contact: Francis McGovern
