Matt Jones, Canada / France

Since he left the military a decade ago, Matt Jones has devoted himself to writing: his novel, “Predators, Reapers and Deadlier Creatures” is forthcoming from Double Dagger Books in March 2025. Represented by Tracy Crow Literary Agency, this work has also received a Canada Council for the Arts grant. Further, he has published poetry, creative nonfiction, chapbooks and short stories.

As a spoken word artist and storyteller, he has performed in multiple countries, including two tours in England, and spoken at panel discussions and charitable readings. A consummate community builder, he has worked as the editor of three literary magazines, as the artistic director of an international poetry festival, and as the organizer of the by-donation Write Time Workshop. He currently teaches leadership at the École Militaire and creative writing at SciencesPo in Paris.
