This week on the FutureX Podcast, you’ll meet Matt Gemmell, a writer of thriller, horror, and suspense novels. He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland with his wife Lauren, their son Calum, and a labradoodle named Whisky. Matt first tried his hand at writing stories when he was in his early teens. Writing had to wait for a while as he got a degree in Computing Science and then had a successful career as a software engineer for Apple and other companies. He also released software of his own.
When it was time to try novel-writing again, Matt started with techno thrillers, and has since developed a large body of work. We talk about building a community for Matt’s writing online, and we discuss the benefits of Mastodon.

What is The Future Lab with Lee Schneider?
We tell stories that shape the future.
The Future Lab podcast is a platform for authors of science fiction, climate fiction, and fantasy to discuss how we shape our future with the stories we tell today.
We feature fiction authors who are exploring science fiction, fantasy, and climate fiction, and publishers and platform-builders who are amplifying fresh voices in those genres.
Past seasons of the podcast have covered indie publishing and book marketing. The episodes are an open conversation about how to create online communities that are diverse, welcoming, and safe. In each episode, Lee Schneider interviews a platform creator, an author, or publisher about their projects and the communities they are building online.
