Matthew’s research during his PhD focused on American and British literature, more specifically American novels and films from the 1920s-60s. He loves mysteries, thrillers, and stories about social class. His dissertation was on American women crime writers of the 1940s and 50s. During my graduate studies, I became an avid film enthusiast with a particular love for Film Noir, French New Wave, and horror. Today, I bring all that knowledge to creating small masterpieces for my clients.

“I work as a remote Director of Marketing for Art ‘N Glow, which is an eCommerce art supply company based out of Plano, Texas. We were in need of someone who could write an entertaining, yet highly technical SEO blog article that would detail the process of making artistic Epoxy Resin coasters. Matthew took on this project, and was able to provide thorough research on the process, implement accurate SEO keywords, and deliver entertaining yet sophisticated content. He also followed some very specific formatting guidelines with ease.
Matthew was, by far, the best writer that we have worked with to date. Along with a brilliant mind and a natural skill for writing, he’s also meets his deadlines, and is a genuinely pleasant person in all of his communications. I highly recommend Matthew for any writing, research, or SEO projects you may have. We will hopefully be working with him again in the future. He’s truly great at what he does!” – Sylvan Kills
Something On Paper Online Journal
Associate Editor
Matthew collaborated with editors to conceptualize issues, articles, and edit pieces for the publication. He emphasized a storytelling framework in the pieces he worked on to increase readership.
“From the beginning of my experience with him, Matthew Pincus showed an unusual acuity in his ability to write critically, to analyze texts, and to research within the discipline. His original thought consistently exceeded my expectations. I worked with Matt on the online poetics journal of the Jack Kerouac School, Something on Paper.
As an associate editor, Matt read submissions and selected pieces for the journal, communicated with contributors, proofread the final product, and wrote one book review. In general, Matt is an accomplished book reviewer, who has written and published nearly twenty book reviews in addition to two critical essays. All of this evidences Matt’s ambition, his ability to manage multiple projects, and his self-directedness. Matt knows what he wants out of life; he persistently works toward his goals and recovers quickly from disappointment. In all of my interactions with him, Matt has been professional and mature.” – J’Lynn Chapman, PhD
