Robert Eversz (he, him) is the author of eight novels, including Shooting Elvis and Gypsy Hearts from Grove-Atlantic Press, Killing Paparazzi from MacMillan, and Burning Garbo, Digging James Dean, and Zero to the Bone from Simon & Schuster. His novels have been widely translated, with more than two-dozen foreign editions of his work in publication, and have been named to the "best" lists at the Washington Post, Oslo Aftenposten, Manchester Guardian, BookPage, January Magazine, Boston Herald, and The Los Angeles Weekly. The highlight of his many book tours is the time he appeared on the Norwegian equivalent of The Tonight Show with Rukan Elvis, the world's only Elvis impersonator from north of the Arctic Circle.
A graduate of the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television, Robert has been commissioned to write multiple projects for the stage and screen. His radio play, Getting Famous, is currently being broadcast by the German public radio broadcaster, DDR. He has also served as a script consultant, including on Elizabeth Seldes Annacone's award winning 2024 screenplay, The Great Lillian Hall.
Robert is a founding member of the permanent faculty of the Prague Summer Program, the longest-running study-abroad program for writers in the English language. He has served as the final judge for the Association of Writing Program's Award Series in the Novel, and has been Visiting Professor and Writer in Residence at Western Michigan University and Hood College. Robert is most of all proud of the many wonderful and accomplished writers he's been privileged to mentor, including Natashia Deon, Parnaz Faroutan, Deborah Spera, and Cleyvis Natera.
