John-Mark Glover: festival officer
With a background in publishing, narrow-gauge train-driving and commercial window-cleaning, John-Mark currently works at the National Museum of Scotland. He has (bravely or foolishly) put himself at the disposal of the West Port Book Festival to undertake whatever tasks the imaginatively demanding Directorate require. He came by this post browsing the Creative Scotland Opportunities site, and, as a lover of Edinburgh, books, and all things eclectic, volunteered to lend a hand, blithely hoping the West Port Book Festival might help him too. His hopes were modest: maybe a chance to stretch some decaying creative muscles; maybe a contact or two: maybe just a warm fuzzy feeling at the end of it all. And maybe the occasional cake?
