About the Editor
Hi, I'm Matt—an avid reader, fiction writer, and passionate teacher of the craft.
My short stories have appeared in Zero Dark Thirty, Wrath-Bearing Tree, and OAFNation, and I have published two novels.
I earned an MFA in Fiction from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2017, studying under acclaimed novelist Tom DeHaven.
After teaching hundreds of students as a professor of fiction, I founded NotMFA to demystify fiction writing for busy professionals. My tried-and-true processes turn rough draft dreams into final draft realities.
