Vincent Edwards — Writer | Screenwriter | Storyteller
Born in Manhasset, New York and raised in Jamaica, Queens, Vincent Edwards is a writer and screenwriter whose work is driven by emotional depth, moral tension, and a relentless curiosity about the darker corners of the human spirit.
Vincent discovered his first love—poetry—while attending Central Islip High School. Originally pursuing a future in football, he entered several poetry competitions along the way. After earning multiple wins, he made the pivotal decision to step away from athletics and fully commit to writing. That moment marked the beginning of a lifelong dedication to storytelling.
Over the years, Vincent’s work has evolved across multiple forms, including poetry, short stories, novels, and screenplays. His published works include World of Thoughts (poetry) and The Demon’s Well—also known as Murder By Midnight. His debut novel, The Devils Within: The Story of Eric Torch, holds special significance as the foundation of a larger body of work and a defining step in his creative journey.
Vincent specializes in suspense, thrillers, and mysteries, with stories designed to keep audiences on edge—page-turners rooted in character, consequence, and psychological intensity. His screenwriting has earned industry recognition, including an Honorable Mention at the Big Apple Film Festival for a television pilot, reinforcing his growing presence in the film and television space.
Today, Vincent continues to develop original scripts and stories with the goal of challenging audiences, provoking thought, and delivering unforgettable narratives. Deeply passionate about his craft, he approaches every project with the same belief: the right story, told honestly, can leave a lasting mark on the world.
