Matthew R. Bishop is a novelist and editor in the fantasy and science fiction genre. His first book, A Land of Our Own, debuted in 2012, and its sequel, In the Shadows of Laeolin, followed in 2014. Today Matt works as the Chief Editor of Fantasy and Science Fiction for a major U.S. publishing house.
Prior to moving into creative writing full-time, Matt worked as a journalist and CEO of a small foreign affairs policy INGO-NPO in Washington, D.C., where he specialized in preventing and responding to early-stage international conflict. That work took him around the world and presented him with opportunities to network with kings and presidents, which he used as inspiration for his political fantasy works in 2010-2016.
Matthew completed his undergraduate in World History and his graduate degree in International Crisis Communications. His dissertation was on the subject of communicative moral epistemology during times of war.
