R. D. Stevens grew up in Kent, England, with an overactive imagination and a love of big questions.
His award-winning YA debut, The Journal, was released by Vulpine Press in August ’22, and The Freeze, his sophomore novel, was released in Jan ’23. He has also had a range of other fiction and non-fiction published in various destinations. He was shortlisted for the Olga Sinclair Prize 2023, longlisted for the Aurora National Short Fiction Prize 2023, and has won awards for both his novels.
In 2023, he released a podcast ‘Perspectives on Pages’ which he co-hosts with fellow small press author Benjamin Roesch. He also works in collaboration with notforvanity.com as a guest reviewer of their indie author content.
Outside of writing, after spending fifteen years in secondary school teaching, he currently works at King’s College University, delivers philosophy seminars to Sixth Formers, and loves to read books, play the guitar, and talk about existentialism (with anyone who’ll listen). He lives in London with his atypical family and FOMO-suffering dog.
Ezra and the Great Bin Jah Meen is his third novel and first published with Dreamsphere Books.
