+Open Book is an organisation that runs online reading and writing workshops.
+Last year, they started a couple of regular Scots-language ones. Their aim is
+to foster community and combat loneliness by sharing, and writing, poems and
+stories.
+
+In Scots, they run a Creative Writing workshop, and a Shared Reading workshop,
+both once a month on Zoom. All their sessions require registration, but are
+completely free.
+
+[This month's Creative Writing session][creative-writing-eventbrite] will be
+today at 11am, and [this month's Shared Reading session][shared-reading-eventbrite]
+will be on the 18th at 11am.
+
+To find out more about Open Book, visit the [Open Book website][open-book], or
+[sign up to their newsletter][open-book-subscribe] to hear regular email
+updates about upcoming events.
