Hi, I’m Evan.
I’m an author and editorial assistant. I love to see the literary world blossom and I will do what I can to help.
My Work
Author
While being a published author is new, creative writing is hardly a fresh endeavor—not quite rotting…yet! It wasn’t until I found Weird Fiction that I found my place as an author. Feel free to sample my work to see if I’d work well with your publication.
Assistant
Let’s be honest, working in the Arts is cumbersome; whether you create art as a musician or author, or if you help to usher art into the public as a publisher or editor, it’s a lot to handle. There is no need to pile clerical work on top of that, I’d be happy to take that tedious stress off of your burdened shoulders!

Decadence & Decay
Outpost 28, Issue #5
When threats appear, are they always apparent? When latent toxin infests a land, is it always noticeable? Where we place our faith, is it always reliable?

The Old Man in the House
Outpost 28, Issue #6
The Boy is homeless and hungry and has been for as long as he can remember. The Old Man is tired and jaded, just as he has been for many years. Is the Boy desperate enough to take the charity from a suspiciously eager Old Man?

Emma Masters is not one to shy away from intrepid inquisitiveness, too many scholars stay indoors and ponder over the same words for eternity. Whereas, haunting the dark corners of Earth, there are things that have dodged the shovels of man for far too long for Emma’s taste…
Whispers of praise…
"Evan’s compassion, competence, and charisma are just a few of his many gifts. His ability to bring people together and make meaningful connections is inspiring, to be sure. Should you be lucky enough to work with him—in person or online—you’ll understand what I mean."
Tony LaMalfa, author of Forbidden Knowledge: Two Tales of Lovecraftian Terror
Just say the incantation…

Perhaps you are not here to engage with my services professionally but to gawk at me like I am some sideshow performer…that’s rude. Unless you gawk at my sideshow behavior on the podcast I started exclusively for that reason. Hopefully you learn a little something, too.
