About this event

Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us for shared reading and creative writing on Friday mornings!

We'll be looking at poems & stories on a monthly theme and doing our own writing together.

Sessions run monthly on a Friday from 2-3:30pm.

Please note: due to demand we ask that you please only book two (2) creative writing sessions per month. Bookings are monitored and any additional creative writing bookings will be cancelled.

Participants who arrive 15+ minutes late may not be admitted.

No experience necessary, ages 18+

Open Book aims to be a safe space for all our participants and Lead Readers. This means our groups should be a place in which everyone feels welcome, respected and comfortable. We ask that you follow CARE (confidentiality, attention, respect, enjoy) and the Safe Spaces Framework each time you join a session. You can read the Space Spaces Framework here.

Frequently asked questions

Are Open Book events accessible?

All Open Book groups on Zoom provide access to Live Captioning. Large print materials are available by request for in person groups. Please get in touch at admin@openbookreading for any other questions regarding accessibility.

Open Book offers an Access Bursary for those who struggle to attend our sessions, which can help with things like the cost of taxis to in person sessions, crèche/childcare, and data to attend online sessions.

Organised by

Open Book

We organise and run weekly shared reading sessions for a diverse range of community and public participants across Scotland. Part of a book and a poem are read aloud during these relaxed and informal sessions, with an Open Book Lead Reader on hand to help guide the discussion. We regularly run creative writing sessions for our readers, using the material the group is reading as inspiration to create new writing.
