About this author

Matthew Revert is an author based in Melbourne, Australia. His work tends toward the indescribably unusual and patently absurd and defies easy genre classification.

His first book, 'A Million Versions of Right' was released in July 2009 by Australian-based press, LegumeMan Books. It has been very well received by those kind enough to read it, which to be honest, isn't that many people.

Outside of writing, Matthew also works as a graphic designer. He tries admirably to record music, however he's not very good at it. His only area of vague aptitude is in writing.
