Oh, hey.
My name is Matt Grant, and I'm a writer.
I write about all kinds of things, from personal essays and investigative features to all forms of culture - books, movies and television.
I'm also a staff writer at Literary Hub, where I write features and profiles on booksellers and bookstores.
Need a copywriter or content marketer for your blog or website? Yep, I do that too!
