Matt Belford

Matt Belford joined The Rights Factory in 2025, having worked at several literary agencies and Big 5 publishers in nearly every genre and format imaginable. Once upon a time, he received his MFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College, back when he thought he wanted to be a writer. He’s since learned the error of his ways and is thrilled to instead be working with authors to help bring their ideas to life.

He is primarily looking for nonfiction projects with unique takes and fresh ideas to be explored. In the adult science fiction and fantasy realm, as well as the adult graphic novel space, he is looking for character-driven works; he wants to laugh and cry with your characters. No matter the genre, Matt is looking for under-represented voices.
