About
Hi, I’m Matthew Chan—a Melbourne-based writer, editor and theatre artist. I’m pursuing a Master of Creative Writing, Publishing and Editing at the University of Melbourne, after completing a BA in Creative Writing, English & Theatre Studies. I enjoy shaping copy for publications, marketing materials, and stage works, with hands-on experience at Farrago Magazine, Cipta Theatre Company, Melbourne Fringe, and more. I’m passionate about collaborating with diverse creative teams to bring stories to life.
I’ve also worked across administration, publicity, and music, including data entry at Melbourne Pathology, writing and composing for theatre, and contributing promotional content for social media. These roles have strengthened my attention to detail, adaptability, and commitment to accessible storytelling in both literary and performative contexts.
