Matthew Hubbard is the author of LAST BOYFRIENDS, debuting Summer 2024 from Delacorte / Penguin Random House. This young adult, coming of age novel is Heartstopper meets The First Wives Club, featuring three queer teenage boys in small-town Alabama who set out to get revenge on their ex-boyfriends and end up fighting their school's anti-LGBTQ+ initiatives.
He writes stories he wished he could've read as a teen in small town Alabama: stories with strong, queer protagonists finding their place to belong in this world. He grew up on a mountaintop farm and knows more than he is willing to admit about small towns. He studied marketing, English, and psychology in college and has spent a majority of his life speaking up to make a difference for nonprofit organizations. When he isn't writing, Matthew can be found on a hike to witness breathtaking views, reading as many books as he can get his hands on, and cheering for his favorite hockey team. He lives in Chattanooga with his husband and their two dogs (Frito Layla and Phillip) and cat (Jay Gatsby). |
