I was the founding CEO of Ream— a creator economy start-up helping fiction authors build a community of their biggest fans. We bootstrapped this company to hundreds of thousands in annual revenue and millions in gross merchandise volume just 12 months after launching to the public. 7,000+ fiction authors use Ream to generate subscription revenue from their readers. Our platform is shaping the future of publishing, empowering authors to sell-direct to their readers, and enabling creators to foster more vibrant communities around their stories than ever before.We have a community of 5,000 fiction authors in our Facebook Group, an annual Summit in Boston, and an education academy helping fiction authors level up and succeed in the future of publishing. I also wrote two nonfiction books for authors. Creator Economy for Authors and Subscriptions for Authors and created the Storytellers Rule the World brand which had 85+ podcast episodes and a course business that made multi-six figures per year.

Early creator partner in an innovative monetization and content program pioneering a new way to create and experience stories online. I live streamed on the Airtime app, integrating unique content experiences along with lively conversations in real-time. This start-up is trying to build the future of live social spaces on the internet, and I have worked on various marketing proposals and partnerships with the content team. In total, I streamed close to 1000 hours on this app writing and creating original nightly shows such as an interactive scavenger hunt roadtrip across America (yes, every night I actually went to a new city, it was fun).

I led the technology start-up Kimera, working to lead the product vision, marketing, and deeply inform the strategy and operations of the enterprise. Kimera is our solution to a broken algorithmic discovery model (for creators, in particular) and our hope for a better future for the internet. We wanted to create a curated model of content discovery on the internet and a home for all creative content to reduce friction between creator-fan relationships online.

In August 2020, I started vlogging my life in college on YouTube. My initial ambition was to share my life with my readers, but in the process, I discovered a world of opportunities and problems that existed for creators. With several hundred thousand views in a few short weeks, this channel led to experiences that changed my life forever.We traveled the country (road-tripped over 10,000 miles) and filmed over 40 hours of content. I also had a long-term collaboration with Airrack, a fast-growing YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers. In total, our videos have amassed several million views across platforms and have managed a production team with as much as 5 people combined. With my experience in multiple areas of digital creation, I also have served as a creator ambassador/advisor to start-ups like Creators Legal.

12 novels published and counting. I write novels about technologies gone wrong in the near future. My published series include World Gone Mad, Conspiracy Chronicles, and the Control Freakz Series. You can check out my books here: https://mevansinked.com/booksI have bootstrapped this publishing company since I was 15 years old, spending tens of thousands on digital advertising and contracting in the process. My first love will always be writing, and sharing fictional stories about the darker possible aspects of our future as it pertains to society and tech is my way of trying to spark conversations that push humanity forward into the light.As an author, I have interned for various companies such as Solar Six Books and Self Publishing Formula.

Worked here to garner my first official employment experience as well as capital for my businesses. Did everything from serve at weddings to putting out beach chairs by the ocean. Great memories and the capital from this enabled me to graduate high school a year early and pursue writing full time.
