Many sites report on the unveiling of the Bradford City of Culture 2025 programme. From the BBC:
A nationwide drawing project backed by artist David Hockney is among the events unveiled on Thursday for Bradford's tenure as UK City of Culture 2025.
The first part of the year-long programme will also include the Turner Prize, an outdoor event created by magician Steven Frayne - formerly known as Dynamo - and tributes to the Brontë sisters. [...]
Bradford is also the birthplace of writers JB Priestley and Andrea Dunbar, while Haworth, the home of the Brontes, is in the district. (Noor Nanji)
The Telegraph and Argus focuses more on the Brontës:
The Bröntes [sic] feature heavily in this first programme announcement.
Four fantasy writers and illustrators from Ghana and the north of England will revisit the sisters’ imaginary world of Angria for a new collection of stories and animations.
These will be published as part of the annual Brönte Festival of Women’s Writing, usually taking place in September.
The wide skies and expansive moorland that spurred Emily Brönte’s Wuthering Heights is the stage for Wild Uplands, four new contemporary visual artworks created by national and international artists placed across Penistone Hill Country Park from May. (Brad Deas)
Also in The Yorkshire Post, Mirror, and many more.

The first of these projects is called Wandering Imaginations and a bit more of context can be read here.

Here's how Redbook describes the novel Midnight Rooms by Donyae Coles:
