SLWG Spotlight: We're Pleased to Present...

Member of Distinction
MATT SORRELL grew up in Kirkwood, Mo., and though he was always an avid reader and enjoyed making up stories for his own amusement, it took him a while to take up the pen and pursue writing as a career.
After a failed first attempt at college, he spent five years in the Army as a counterintelligence agent. When he got out, Matt finally got that B.A. in English, and began working a series of day gigs while writing for a variety of area newspapers and magazines in his off hours.
Finally, in December 2009, he took the plunge and began writing full-time. He’s been a regular contributor to Sauce Magazine; Ladue News; ALIVE Magazine; and the St. Louis Business Journal. His work has also appeared in Draft Magazine; Missouri Life; and St. Louis Magazine, among others. Fiction-wise, he took second place in the 2009 St. Louis Writers Guild short story contest, and he recently finished his first novel, a horror tale set in rural Missouri, which he’s actively shopping around.
Matt lives in Richmond Heights with his wife, Beth, and their menagerie of dogs and cats.
