Matt Packer

Matt helps the Burst Pictures team when it comes to sharpening their pencils.
He is on a continuous mission to find things he hasn’t written about yet, and write about them. His long-term goal is to expand on the huge variety of topics he’s already covered, such as Shakespeare, whales and dolphins, intellectual property, Stonehenge, green travel, curry, finance, leadership… and that old favourite: the origin of everyday things. All this material has all emerged in a bunch of specialist magazines, books and websites too numerous to mention. Matt has also written sleeve notes for compilation CDs by Blondie, Jeff Beck and Everything But the Girl, and in addition to his work as a freelance journalist and copywriter, he is working on an epic horror novel (but don’t worry, he’s quite well adjusted). When Matt isn’t writing, he’s either thinking about writing, preparing to write or recovering from writing. (Or cooking a huge vat of chilli. Or listening to Iron Maiden)
