Matt Price – Editor

Emmy Award winning TV writer with over twenty years of experience. Loves funny stories about music, sports, and fascinating people.

Overview

Hello! My name is Matt, and I have over twenty years experience writing in TV and film, as well as some print journalism. As an editor on Reedsy, I have worked with authors from many different genres. From YA novels to personal essay collections, from screenplays to satirical graphic novels, I love all kinds of storytelling. My background is mainly in comedy. Whether you're the bass player for an international rock band or a funeral director, a few well-placed funny lines can go a long way in getting readers invested in your story (especially if you're a funeral director).


For the past ten years, I've written primarily in animation, including recent stints as Supervising Producer for "Final Space" on Adult Swim and for "Close Enough" on HBOMax. I co-developed "Close Enough" with J.G. Quintel and two other producers before they sold the pitch in the room to TBS. Prior to that, I worked for The Cartoon Network on several shows, most notably "Regular Show" for which I won an Emmy Award (and was nominated for five more). I wrote on all 262 episodes of the award-winning "Regular Show," and I was promoted to head writer in the third season. I also co-wrote the story for "Regular Show: The Movie." I have worked in development at many other animation studios and international production companies, including Nickelodeon and PinkFong.


I've written on many live action shows as well, including Comedy Central’s "Root of All Evil" with Lewis Black. I have also co-developed several sitcoms with NBC and Conan O’Brien’s production company Conaco.


In addition to TV writing, I've been published in many magazines, including ESPN, Paste and L.A. Magazine. I also used to curate a storytelling show at the UCB Theatre in Los Angeles where I would edit and help craft personal essays for authors and comedians.


I look forward to working with you and helping you take your project to the next level.

Matt has been brilliant throughout the whole proces. I hired him for manuscript assessment and copy editing, with his feedback the MS has improved greatly. I asked for tough love and that's what I got, kind but firm advice with clear arguments. I felt respected and in the hands of a capable professional, I learned a lot during our project together. Matt delivered everything in time and in perfe...

I am so grateful that Matt was willing to edit my piece - he was incredibly thoughtful, specific, organized, timely, and generous in his editing work and quality.

The edits I received from Matt were so much more helpful t...

It is sort of hard to know how to start a review someone you were not completely satisfied with. Matt and I started off great, he was very friendly, although it was obvious from the get-go that Matt was very busy with other projects. He made that clear upfront. I wrote a humor piece about dogs. The introduction, I clearly set the tone of the book, but throughout our communications, it was appa...

Matt went above and beyond with responding to my brief. The feedback he provided was steeped with insights and suggestions that can only come from solid experience, and he delivered the feedback in a professional and friendly manner.
