Book reviews, movie reviews, comics reviews, television reviews (primarily sci-fi/fantasy/horror). Diversity and representation, and the double-edged sword of being a POC writer. I also write fiction and plays, and I frequently talk about submissions and rejections and how to deal with that process.

Evan Burton
Evan has an MFA in Poetry from the City College of New York, and he is a Cave Canem Fellow. He works as a copywriter at a digital advertising agency in San Franciso. He’s currently at work on a book of short stories titled “Love & Money.”
Evan loves a well-structured story, well-told. His idea of a good time is to watch back-to-back Godard movies while playing chess and listening to the roots.
