Eva Marie Everson

Contest Director/Author

Eva Marie Everson is the bestselling and multiple award-winning author of both fiction and nonfiction work. In 2022 she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from AWSA and the Yvonne Lehman Legacy Award from BRMCWC.

Eva Marie is the CEO of Word Weavers International (word-weavers.com) and the director of Florida Christian Writers Conference. Eva Marie is a popular speaker at writers conferences across the United States and the Contest Director for Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. She is a seminary graduate who has taught a Bible study for over 30 years. Either she’s really good and the folks can’t get enough … or she’s really bad and they’re still trying to learn something (the jury is out).

Eva Marie and her husband enjoy their three grown children and their most excellent better halves, and they are especially proud of their grandchildren. They are owned by a cat named Vanessa.
