Join Lead Reader Renita Boyle for a relaxing creative writing session in which we'll be reading stories and poems and responding to them with our own writing.


Sessions run once a month on Tuesdays from 7:00-8:30pm.


No experience necessary. For those aged around 60 and upwards.


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.

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.

Please note that by supplying your email address you agree to be contacted via email for evaluative purposes

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.
