Matt Dovey is a writer of science fiction and fantasy short stories. He is very tall, very British, and most likely drinking a cup of tea right now. Although his surname rhymes with “Dopey”, any other similarities to the dwarf are purely coincidental.
He's the host of PodCastle, and a member of Codex Writers, the Society of Authors, and the Villa Diodati writers group. He gives far too much attention to his Twitter but is trying to get used to Mastodon instead.
You can start reading stories now, for free: there's 24 to choose from so far, but if you're not sure where to start he'd recommend The Bone Poet & God for fantasy or The Ghosts of Europa Will Keep You Trapped in a Prison You Make for Yourself for science fiction. You can also listen to him narrate others' stories, or find out more about him.
