Esmie is a speculative fiction and fantasy writer, currently living in London after graduating from university with a degree in English Literature and Classical Studies. Her writing, which is invariably about marginalised people saving the world, won The Gollancz and Rivers of London BAME 2020 SFF Award, (since renamed The Future Worlds Prize), and was shortlisted for the 2018 Penguin WriteNow scheme. Esmie is also co-founder of Impact of Omission, an organisation dedicated to decolonising the UK’s compulsory curriculum, that has been featured in publications such as The Guardian, The Times and The Huffington Post. In October 2020, Esmie was interviewed about the campaign by ITV News, and the following year she consulted on and appeared in the Channel 4 Documentary Where’s my History, created by premiere league footballer Troy Deeney. She can usually be found drinking hot chocolate and dressing up to go strolling through old villages, or around London’s many museums.
