Eva Best (née, Williams; pen name, Saturn; 1851–1925) was an American story writer, poet, music composer, dramatist, and painter.

[1][2] Best was among the first persons to recognize the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar and was influential in bringing him before the public.

[1] In 1900, Best joined The New Cycle where her editorial work focused on "The Home Circle" department; she also provided poems and short stories.

A comedy drama, Sands of Egypt, was in the hands of Miss Elisabeth Marbury, of New York City.

Best's other plays, The Little Banshee and Gemini, the former in Irish dialect, the latter a two-part character piece, were written for Miss Jennie Calef.

[1] One of her peculiar advantages in writing stories was her ability to sketch such illustrations as she was required to visualize her thoughts.

[1] She often painted landscapes, flower pieces, and fruits, and was also extremely apt and original in design.
