All Ghana A Stage: A reading with the SBLP

Writers Project of Ghana and Goethe-Institut Ghana proudly present our first joint reading session for 2025, in collaboration with the Samira Bawumia Literary Prize. The reading will feature the following contributing authors to the 2023 prize anthology, All Ghana A Stage:

Luther D. Fembeti is a Ghanaian author of short fiction and a student of medical laboratory science. Influenced by the likes of Nnedi Okafor, Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, Suyi Davies Okungbowa and other authors leading the charge of Africans into the speculative fiction scene, Luther began writing stories of his own. With an aspiration of becoming a full time author, when Luther isn't writing, you can find him networking with other authors, reading, or exploring other mediums.

Phinehas Nana Osei is a theologian, Christian thinker, and storyteller – in that order. He enjoys reading and writing and dabbles in poetry as well. When he is not exploring issues of God, Christian doctrine and football with Arsenal FC, he might be occupied as a Research Analyst in management consulting. He is the author of Thrive in Babylon, a book that explores how Christians can live up to their calling in a secular world. In the near future, Phinehas looks forward to contributing to the theological training of preachers around the world.

Emmanuela Amparebea Sekoh is a corporate woman, blog writer and a budding young author. She is the brain behind the blog "360secs with Ella". Some of her writings include Tailoring my Heart, Scarred and The Sixth Husband. Emmanuela holds a degree in Business Administration (Banking and Finance). Alongside writing, her hobbies are listening to gospel music, event planning and watching fashion trends. She aspires to address social issues through writing and public speaking.

Deladem Kwaku Adom is a poet, spoken word artiste and Christian musician, amongst other talents. His passion for the creative and performing arts has been evident since his childhood when he started to perform in all these art forms at the age of 5. Currently a student at the Ghana School of Law, he desires to influence and protect the art family with his knowledge of the law.
