Hello! I’m Matt Hershberger, I am a writer, parent, and activist based out of New Jersey.

I’ve been publishing on the internet for over 15 years, and have written on travel, food, politics, books, parenting, and more. I am currently working on two books, one about my 187-mile walk down the entire length of the Jersey Shore, and another about raising children in an era that feels somewhat apocalyptic. I also publish thrice weekly on my Substack Newsletter, Better Strangers.

I’ve also worked as an advocate for immigrants in the United States, as a library worker, and as a lecturer at the college level.

I am currently available for freelance writing and editing opportunities!
