Well Proud 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 www.lgbthealth.org.uk or via Queer Creative Writing Scotland

Who we welcome

All LGBTQ+ people over 16 in Edinburgh are 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.

We also welcome people who aren't sure about their sexual orientation/gender identity, or who do not use labels for either.
