Discover The World Evolvers
About the Author
Ian Mattison is the creator of The World Evolvers, an expansive YA science-fantasy series that blends mythic storytelling, cinematic action, and deeply human characters. His work explores the forces that shape worlds, love, fear, control, and the will to evolve through immersive narratives that draw readers into galaxies of danger, beauty, and transformation.
Ian’s journey to becoming an author was anything but ordinary. At a young age, he was expelled and then removed from the school system entirely, sent to a boarding school in New York. He lasted only six months before being expelled again and placed in the controversial Straight Inc. program, where he remained for over two years. Those early years were defined by turbulence, confrontation, and forced change, but they also became the crucible that forged his voice.
The World Evolvers series is born directly from that transformation. While the events in his books are told through the lens of science fiction cosmic battles, evolving worlds, and heroes on the brink, the emotional core comes from lived experience: the struggle to survive, adapt, and ultimately evolve into something envisioned.
When he’s not writing, Ian can be found painting, designing projects, or exploring the intersections of technology, storytelling, and human potential. His mission is simple: create worlds worth exploring, and stories worth sharing long after the last page is turned.
