Evan Marks grew up in Australia and spent his early twenties moonlighting as an electronic music producer before trading his studio gear for a one-way ticket to New York, where he works as an investment banker advising companies across a variety of industries.

For the past decade, he has immersed himself in the kaleidoscope of stories that define the city’s vibrant dating and social scene. Part homage, part meditation, his writing blends genre frameworks with a deeper examination of the human condition, exploring love, desire, ambition, and identity through both narrative structure and philosophical inquiry.

As a musician, Evan has been featured in MixMag, Resident Advisor, InTheMix, ThreeDWorld, and Catalog. As a writer, his prose has been praised for being “sharp and tactile,” with a “psychological edge that many urban novels lack.”

Vesper is his debut novel and has been described as Sex and the City reimagined through the lens of Milan Kundera. He is currently at work on his second novel, a cerebral thriller exploring the intersection of crime and determinism.

A graduate of the University of Sydney and Harvard Business School, he lives in the West Village.
