Matthew J. Beier is a novelist, screenwriter, and filmmaker based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He’s been published in The Advocate and Publishers Weekly and has won multiple awards for his screenplays and filmmaking.

In 2012, Matthew drew on his experience as an LGBTQ+ person to write a Black Mirror-style first novel, The Breeders, which imagined a future world where heterosexuals were the social group dealing with extreme prejudice. In 2014, he began publishing his seven-book Jonathan Flite series, which follows a troubled boy who claims to have past-life memories of seven teenagers who went missing ten years before his birth. Thus far, the series includes The Confessions of Jonathan Flite, The Release of Jonathan Flite, and The Rise of Jonathan Flite. In 2003, Matthew attended film school at Chapman University, where he studied screenwriting, film production, and English before spending a final semester abroad at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand.

When Matthew isn’t working, he enjoys exercising, watching films and streaming television shows, spending time with his friends and family, and drinking Dandy Blend, a strange caffeine-free coffee substitute made of dandelions. He’s currently hard at work on the last four books of the Jonathan Flite series, along with multiple TV and film scripts.
