Matt Knight


Matt Knight is a San Francisco-based writer and intellectual property lawyer. He writes near-future fiction that explores the unintended consequences of modern technology, and women’s fiction focused on love, crisis, and personal growth. He earned a BS in pre-med from Pfeiffer University, an MS in biochemistry from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, and a JD from the University of Houston Law School. His career path has included roles as an EPA chemist, a cancer researcher, an editor of the Houston Law Review, a judicial clerk, a biotech patent litigator specializing in genetic engineering, and, currently, a realtor. Basically, a master of reinvention driven by demonic compulsion. His publications have appeared in the New York Times, Queer Adventures, Independent Book Publisher Association Magazine Houston Law Review, and San Diego Union-Tribune. Matt’s GPS coördinates are split between San Francisco and Maui. When he finds snippets of spare time, you can pinpoint him swimming laps, surfing waves, painting a canvas, or unleashing his inner Julia Child.
