Open Book Creative Writing
Organiser
Ness
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.
