I'm AJ Eversley—a published author, screenwriter, story analyst, and writing coach with over a decade of storytelling experience. I'm represented by Spencerhill Associates and specialize in working with writers in the YA, NA, and Adult sci-fi, fantasy, and romantasy. My approach is honest, actionable, and always tailored to your unique voice and vision. ​From early-stage developmental edits to reader-focused beta feedback to one-on-one coaching calls, each service is built to meet you where you are and help you take the next step.
