October 2013 - February 2014
As an editorial assistant, I helped out editor Daniel Nester by performing various tasks early on in the formation of the anthology and later as it neared publication.
I, as a part of "Team Sestina," assisted with the promotion of the anthology by writing for the Incredible Sestinas blog. Along with updates about the book itself and upcoming events, the blog had two featured series: The "Behind the Sestinas" interviews with poets about the process of writing their sestinas and "Sestina Watch" which featured sestina-related items from around the internet.
