Esmie is a science-fantasy writer, who spent much of her childhood reading on sunny Australian beaches, before moving to London, where she swapped the sunshine for grey skies, and the beach for the window seat of her grandmother’s creaky old house. Esmie was the inaugural winner of the Future World's Prize in 2020, winning with the manuscript for The Principle of Moments, which is now her debut novel. The same manuscript was also 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, as well as discussed live on ITV news. She also appeared in the Channel 4 documentary "Where's My History?" created by Premier-League footballer Troy Deeney. She also holds a BA in English Literature and Classical Studies—a degree that allowed her to write essays on Disney villains, read ridiculous amounts of Ancient Greek Lyric poetry, and argue about postcolonial readings of canonical texts all in the same week. When she isn’t writing about Black kids dismantling space empires or travelling through time, she can probably be found re-watching Treasure Planet, or campaigning for a copy of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to replace the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.
