About Scott Matthewman and this blog

This is the personal blog of Scott Matthewman – that is to say, me.

In my day job, I’m Assistant Editor of The Stage, and tend to look after the ‘new media’ (i.e., non-print) side of our editorial content. Part of that includes regularly contributing to TV Today, the paper’s daily blog about British television. I also review theatre on an occasional basis as well as producing & editing (and, all too often, presenting) a series of podcasts.

As well as blogging here and on TV Today, I used to run a blog about lesbian and gay politics, called The Gay Vote. The blog was awarded the accolade of Best Political Weblog by The Guardian in 2004. More in this news story covering the award.

Outside of work, my first professionally commissioned fiction was published in December 2007. The short story Tell Me You Love Me was included in Doctor Who: Short Trips - The Ghosts of Christmas, a (now out of print) collection of seasonal tales based on the “classic” years of the BBC television series.

I have on occasion been a guest on BBC local radio and LBC. If you wish to contact me in this or any other regard, please use my contact form.
