I’m Matthew Pincus, a content writer and editor in San Diego, CA.
I received my PhD in English from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2019. My research and teaching focused on 20th century American literature. I have an MFA in Writing and Poetics from Naropa University. I received my BA in English and World Literature from Pitzer College.
My background in English gives me a strong understanding of storytelling and communication. View my portfolio.
I like to get outdoors for hikes and bird watching. I love classic film and always have a novel at hand.
I live in California with my fiancé, Jennifer van Alstyne and our two cats, Bartlet and Ash.
“During his time in Naropa University’s MFA Writing and Poetics Program, I found Matthew Pincus to be a dedicated student. I appreciated his ability to reach the diverse needs of a class, teaching with an intellectual yet accessible demeanor and presentation style.
Matthew was a strong critical writer who worked diligently as a book reviewer for various literary publications, presented at the inaugural [Dis]embodied Poetics Conference in 2014, and published a paper in the journal Coldfront. He was an active member of the Naropa community, working hard to strengthen his effective critical thinking and writing skills.”
