LITERATURE PROGRAMME MANAGER

Asia House

Currently on furlough

Having worked on the marketing for the Asia House Literature Festival in my capacity as Communications Coordinator, I was offered the role of Literature Programme Manager (maternity cover) in 2020. 

​

This involved working with publishers to put on events with authors of Asian heritage throughout the year, as well as programme the organisation's flagship Asia House Literature Festival (September - November), which would have entered its 14th year.

​

This role was put on hold in March 2020 due to COVID.

Working directly under the Communications Manager, I was responsible for a range of activities across the organisation, including social media management, creating newsletters, designing websites, writing press releases and creating marketing collateral for events and programmes.

​

In February 2020 I took a one-year sabbatical from my comms role to manage the organisation's literature festival. However, this was put on hold due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
