FREE monthly guided creative writing sessions for LGBTQ+ people in Edinburgh

Delivered in partnership with Open Book Reading, we’ll be reading stories and poems aloud and using them to create our own writing in a gentle, guided session with Lead Reader, Jess Orr.

No experience required! Just a willingness to have a go in a safe and affirmative setting.

You can book for each session individually, with the booking details made available each month via https://www.lgbthealth.org.uk or via the Queer Creative Writing Scotland at https://www.facebook.com/groups/796107157808789.

Wednesdays, 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Who we welcome

Anyone from the LGBTQIA+ community (16+) living in or visiting Edinburgh is welcome to join us. We welcome the entire diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community including non-binary, queer, intersex, asexual people and all identities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. This includes those who are questioning or exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Registration

Spaces are limited so we need you to register in advance. The capacity for each session is 15 people.

Register your free space and you will receive a confirmation email with full details of the session including our COVID Safety Measures. You can book for each session individually, with the booking link below or via the Queer Creative Writing Scotland Facebook Group.

Bookings are for 1 person, not households or family bubbles. Even if you and a friend or partner share an email address.

If something changes and you can no longer come along, please let us know as soon as you can so your booking becomes available for someone else.

PLEASE NOTE: Incomplete booking forms or repeat non-attendance will result in cancellation of your place. Please contact organiser should you wish to discuss the form.
