I received an email from Theresa today to begin work on a big task and I would try and get it finished for when I saw her on Thursday of this week.
The task was to go through all of the participants of the festival and find an interview or review on their work and make note of it. I was also asked to pick out a quote from each review in order to use on twitter in the run up to the festival.
I began working that day and started making my way down the long list of participants, finding out what people had said about them and their work. This was very difficult for some as they were new poets who had had little work published or maybe weren't as well known. Also some reviews were really awful and it wouldn't have worked to put these reviews on twitter in order to encourage people to come to their events!
It took me hours to get through half the list as it was pretty slow going work. I emailed half of the list to Theresa and she told me that that would do for now and that she would let me know when she wanted the rest of it done.
