MATTHEW J. PIPER
About
I'm a writer, editor, and cultural producer in Detroit with a background in libraries. I'm passionate about using my creative and technical skills to connect, inform, and inspire the communities I'm part of.
I'm the editor-in-chief at Essay'd, where we publish short essays about Detroit artists. My writing has been featured in Curbed, Detroit Research, Infinite Mile, KnightArts, Model D, and the second edition of Thanks For the View, Mr. Mies.
In addition to my creative work, I'm proud to lead the Green Garage, a sustainable workspace in the Cass Corridor. I'm also a notary public, an avid reader, and a bike commuter.
