Philosopher, lecturer and intellectual … just some of the things Matt Porter definitely is not! He is however, an author of hilarious children’s books and a primary school teacher. As a primary school student in the south-west of Victoria, Matt loved sport and writing. Trying to combine the two lead to messy writing and several collisions so he put his publishing ambitions on hold until he received his pen licence and could spell tricky words like ‘unconscious’. Matt’s first books, ‘My Country’ and ‘Picture Perfect’, were published in 2010. He has since published stories in Challenge magazine, an article in Runners’ World, several teacher resource/student activity books and two books in his Crazy Relief Teachers series.
