The Whispering Shelf, a bookstore in Lockerbie Square, is hosting a free writing workshop on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., participants will respond to different prompts related to the event’s theme: wellness. 

“It’s about self reflection,” said Emma Freund, the bookstore’s community and collections lead. “The topic is open-ended. You can write about how your week is going right now or something that’s been bothering you for years.” 

Pens and paper will be provided. If they’re comfortable, attendees can share what they wrote with the group. 

The Whispering Shelf is located at 414 N. College Ave. You can reserve a spot online.
