Matthew R. Bishop, M.A.
Writer/Editor/Publisher for Hire

I deliver sharp, relevant, visible content for whatever your purpose is. I've enjoyed working in every corner of the writing trade- from creative fiction novels to high-stakes business presentations and everything in between. I've learned a lot of tricks along the way- what separates quality content from its rivals, how to make content long-term instead of short-term, and how to connect content with a relevant or targeted audience.

You can message, email, or call me using the links below for a completely free discussion of your project and budget. The first product is offered free of charge for prospective long-term clients.

Journalism

I founded my first world news nonprofit with $300 at the age of 19. Since then I've been fortunate to work with some of the best in the business. Our work has made a real impact in conflict and crisis zones, and that impact has been a defining part of my life's work. I built my own graduate curriculum at George Washington University, tailoring it specifically to news media management, war and peace in international relations, and media startup growth. Since then I've worked as an independent journalist and consultant. In that role I've covered everything from tech startups in Ohio to bombing raids in Iraq, and I'm always looking for more.

Creative Fiction

I published my first fiction novel in 2012, followed in 2014 by my first sequel. The award-winning duo series, The Kingdom of the Free, follows the story of a young slave who joins a rebellion to free the land of his birth from his oppressors.

Marketing / Promotional Writing

As an independent entrepreneur with ten years of professional writing experience, I'm able to offer agency-quality writing at below-agency prices. In 2015 I took on my first commercial writing gig in the marketing industry. Today I subcontract as a commercial writer in a number of industries, ranging from publishing to entrepreneurship to architecture and construction. My clients in the commercial world are kept private and sample works are not currently available.

Academic Writing

My academic experience includes original research and publishing, editing and proofing, and curriculum design. I've also served as a professor in international relations subjects revolving specifically around war, peace, and psychology. Having formerly chaired an academic journal committee, I've also worked in academic publishing. Two dissertations, three proposed syllabi, and five public speaking courses later, I'm preparing to begin a part-time career as an independent professor for an online academic program.

Business and Nonprofit Writing

The curriculum I designed for my M.A. track included formal coursework in scaling nonprofits, grant writing, formal business presentation, and small business writing. As an entrepreneur myself, I know the ins and outs of expanding staff, acquiring new office space, etc. Today I use those skills to freelance as a grant writer, as a business planner, and as a content developer for clients in government, private, and nonprofit sectors.

Content Management

While working as a journalist I managed submissions from people in every corner of the world and in every time zone, making myself available on a 24-7 basis. We had research teams in Russia, Somalia, and the U.S. As the chief publisher, I oversaw approximately 20 researcher-writer-editors for the quarterly publication of a 200 page journal.
