The Bronte Society is excited to announce the open call for a Writer in Residence to work with the Bronte Parsonage Museum from 1April 2023 until 31 March 2024. We are looking for a writer who will develop and deliver a programme of writing activities inspired by the landscape of the South Pennines and 'the wild.'
Our 2023 exhibition, 'The Brontes and the Wild,' focuses on the South Pennine landscape surrounding the Parsonage - its habitats, creatures and weather - and features items from our collections that depict the strong connection each of the Brontes had with the natural world.
For a fee of £3000, the Writer in Residence will engage visitors, local residents, community groups, staff and volunteers to create a piece of collaborative writing inspired by the wild moorland landscape surrounding the Parsonage. The Writer in Residence will also produce a new piece of work of their own and will be offered an opportunity to share this online and/or in person.
You will be based in the South Pennines and be familiar with the unique features of its landscape.
If you're interested in working with the Bronte Parsonage Museum during 2023- 24, you must be based approximately within an hour's drive of Haworth and want to create work with people visiting and living in the South Pennines.
