Esme Bessor-Foreman, Writer

Ever the modernday Jane Austen, she reads vigrously, the sound of pages turning filling the room in which she sits. To create content she learns and practices, listening to cafe and rain sounds produced by her computer as ambient white noise. She is truly an accomplished lady if we might say, one versed in guitar, languages, drawing, reading, as well as writing, something considered ahead of her time. Weaving crafty stories, she sends them in to be edited and then eventually rejected. You see, no good editor of the modern age could let a woman publish such a thing! So instead, if her stories are rejected, she is instructed to write book reviews to retain her job. I’m sure you are curious as to why we would let her express her opinion instead of simply a fictional story? Well that is where we come in. She sends the paper in, yes, but then through the editing process her reviews are entirely altered by our editing team. I urge you to read her reviews, but know that none of the views expressed are actually hers!
