“As the editorial director of a niche lifestyle magazine, one of my duties included cultivating a pool of top-tier writing talent; in particular, journalists willing and able to tackle complicated, often unwieldy subject matter and turn it into smart, entertaining articles for the masses. Mat proved himself a star within that talent pool, producing compelling, accurate, thought-provoking work, no matter the subject. Mat’s greatest strength as a writer is his willingness to sink his teeth into a topic and use his analytical skills to produce well-rounded stories representing multiple perspectives. Those who seek a writer with smarts and a thoughtful writing style would do well to consider Mat Thomas.” – Aurelia d’Andrea, Paris-based freelance writer/editor and author of The Moon Guide to Living Abroad in France
