Hi, my name is Matthew Kressel and I am a writer, editor, publisher, and full-time IT guru. Welcome to my fiction vanity page, a place where you can find more information about my writing pursuits. My fiction and non-fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in such publications as Clarkesworld Magazine, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Interzone, Fantasy Magazine, Weird Tales, Electric Velocipede, Apex Magazine, Abyss & Apex, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Farrago's Wainscot, A Field Guide to Surreal Botany, and the anthologies Naked City and Hatter Bones and other markets. Click here to see my complete bibliography. In 2003 I started the speculative fiction magazine Sybil's Garage, which has since received multiple honorable mentions in three consecutive issues of the Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, (Ed. Datlow, Link, Grant) and continues to receive critical acclaim. The magazine combines a unique aesthetic of merging 20th century imagery with 21st century fiction. I am also the publisher of Paper Cities, An Anthology of Urban Fantasy, which won the 2009 World Fantasy Award for best anthology of the year. In April of 2008, I took over for Gavin Grant as the co-host of the KGB Fantastic Fiction reading series alongside Ellen Datlow. The reading series features luminaries and up-and-comers in speculative fiction and is held on the third Wednesday of every month in Manhattan at the famous KGB Bar. I am a member of the writing group Altered Fluid, where I have appeared several times as a guest on Jim Freund's radio show, Hour of the Wolf, on WBAI. I read a draft of one of my stories live on the air. I have also designed websites for several prominent writers and magazines. You can see samples of some of my work here. I currently live in Brooklyn, with a steadily decreasing view of the New York skyline. |
