About Evan Williams

Story-telling has been in my blood since a child, when I sat around the campfire and told jokes to my family. That urge to share my words has followed me through life and brings me here, where I create my own journeys, help others tell theirs, and try to capture the essence of this world through words.

BA in Creative Writing from the

City College of CUNY.
