Who’s V.P. Evans, anyway?

What I find interesting about V.P.?

V.P. Evans is the pen name of an average (and perhaps boring) guy who seems desperate to disappear into lands far away. You would probably find him lost in a secluded village in Estonia, wandering among the wild islands of the Azores, or backpacking across vague paths in Asia. And sometimes, as the fading lights and the thick darkness of this mysterious cosmos unfold before him, he has an idea and writes it down.

What might others find interesting about V.P.?

A Curtis Brown alum who writes across a variety of forms and genres, from books and travel stories to articles and YouTube scripts.

His award-winning debut novel, THE REBIRTH became an Amazon Bestseller and was named as “one of the most promising projects” by a former editorial director at Random House. The UK’s leading book recommendation website, LoveReading, compared it with the works of Dan Brown. One of the best Indian book review sites, The Bookish Elf, also wrote, “A standout in contemporary literature . . . V.P. Evans has created something rare: the intellectual depth of Umberto Eco combined with the narrative drive of Dan Brown,” and named it as “Novel of the Year”.

His books have been included in The IAP Select Collection aka “Best Books of the Year” according to Library Journal, and in The BookLife Elite Collection for the “Top Indie-published Books” by Publishers Weekly.

As a screenwriter, he’s received the rare ‘consider’ grade (top 2-3%) by Coverage Ink, one of Hollywood’s leading screenplay analysis services. His scripts have been selected by BIFA, BAFTA and Oscar-qualifying festivals (Cinequest, Rhode Island, Nashville, Manchester, UK FF), and other prestigious fests (Cannes Film Awards, Toronto INFF, FilmQuest), and have received placements in top contests (BlueCat, Screencraft).

Overall, his works have earned more than 120 accolades, and more than 80 rave reviews by well-respected critics (Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Writer’s Digest, etc), renowned authors, and famous book bloggers.

Currently, he’s working on various project and planning his second big trip around the world. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention. He’s also a global trekker. If life is still good with him, he’ll carry on. . . If not, well, that’s life.
