Four authors from Bradford and Ghana discuss their new Brontë-inspired stories – created especially for Bradford 2025.

Wandering Imaginations is a collection of new fantasy and science-fiction stories created for Bradford 2025 by four emerging writers – Kristina Diprose and CM Govender from Bradford, Akorfa Dawson and Peggy Kere Osman from Ghana – that take partial inspiration from the imaginary worlds created by the Brontës in childhood. As an exhibition of their stories opens at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, the four writers join us in Haworth for this special launch event as part of the annual Brontë Women’s Writing Festival.

The four writers will be discussing their new stories, written following residencies at Pa Gya! A Literary Festival in Accra and the Brontë Parsonage Museum. We’ll also learn about animations and illustrations created to accompany the stories, which you can see at the related exhibition. And, of course, we’ll discover how the quartet of writers took inspiration from the Brontës – and, specifically, the imaginary worlds that the siblings created as children in Haworth.

Download the stories for free from Wednesday 24 September 2025.
