Applications are being accepted for volunteers to assist organisers for a literature festival in March.
Emirates Airline said it is welcoming the applications for its Eight Festival of Literature, which will feature sessions by more than 140 authors.
Volunteers can assist the author signing, information desks, box office, room and area management, social media and photography, as well as other areas. Applications will be accepted at the Dar Al Adaab festival office in Bur Dubai’s historical Al Shindagha neighbourhood, the airline said.
Last year’s festival line-up included Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Egyptian writer Nawal Al Saadawi, author Jasper Fforde, Mohsin Hamid, who won critical acclaim for How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, and David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas.
The festival will be held from March 1—12 at the InterContinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City, under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, VicePresident and Ruler of Dubai.
