A passionate supporter of the arts, and literary scene in the U.K., Esmie was delighted to curate three events for OFF THE SHELF FESTIVAL OF WORDS, “one of the largest literary festivals in the North of England” (offtheshelf.org).

She also worked with them on a series called ‘Write and Shine’ where she gave writing advice on how to finish a novel, and writing realistic characters, in keeping with the literary focus of the festival.
