Candice gets ready for her big moment.. under a desk |
As anyone who has read the full brochure from cover to cover knows, the Literature Festival is huge. With more then 500 events from over 600 speakers, I’m sure you can imagine how much work goes into organising this epic festival.
Festival HQ gets flooded with incredibly hardworking volunteers and desk space suddenly becomes the most valuable commodity. In fact, people are almost afraid to go out for lunch, just in case they come back and find their desk commandeered.
Fear of desk requisition aside, there’s an amazing atmosphere in the office at the moment. Books are stacked high in every available corner and everyone is focused on delivering the best Festival yet.
Anyway, this is how I came to be doing a radio interview sat under a desk… Ah, the glamorous world of arts marketing!
BBC Radio Gloucestershire called to talk about our book giveaway (see last blog), which proved incredibly popular. To hear the full interview, including details about our next book drop, in the clip below…
