Matthew Lawrence


Bio

I was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1981 and grew up in nearby Cranston, a town whose most famous residents include Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Ali McGraw's character in Love Story.

I am one of the founding editors of Headmaster, a biannual art magazine for man-lovers, and I also run Not About The Buildings, a local literary events organization.

For nine years I worked in retail while keeping myself occupied with other projects.  I've hosted five all-ages spelling bees, DJed parties and weddings, hosted a Top 40 radio show, curated a dog-themed film festival, judged two facial hair competitions, opened a gallery in my apartment, written copy for an underwear catalog, edited a book about Cambodian postcards, modeled for a charity calendar, publicly read stories about my sex life, organized 
a read-a-thon for the local chapter of Books Through Bars, spoken on panels about Surviving As A Freelancer and Nurturing A Queer Canon, and worked odd jobs as a location scout, a barback, a stockboy, a fashion stylist, a sex blogger, a dogwalker, and a supervisor of census workers.
