About this event

Join Open Book and get Well Versed!


Join us each month on Wednesdays 12-1pm for our Shared Reading group and Author Events to hear all about a different featured poet. In this group, we'll use the featured poet's work to spark our own writing.


Sessions run monthly on Wednesdays, 12-1pm.

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.

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

No experience necessary, all welcome, ages 16+.

Frequently asked questions

Are Open Book events accessible?

All Open Book groups on Zoom provide access to Live Captioning. Links are shared in the chat and plain text versions are available by request. Please get in touch at admin@openbookreading for any other questions regarding accessibility.

Does Open Book offer support to attend sessions?

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. For more information, please contact info@openbookreading.com

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.
