Justin Matott

Justin Matott was inducted into the Colorado Authors Hall of Fame in September 2021. His books and presentations have been entertaining the young and old since 1996.

He is best known for his "OUTRAGEOUS, EDUCATIONAL and HILARIOUS" assemblies, where he tells the stories behind the stories bound in his books, followed up by "absolutely fun and educational creative writing seminars!"

If you would like a signed, personalized copy, along with some good savings, please go to www.justinmatott.com and order. If you buy three, simply email Matott at [email protected] to let him know to whom the books will go to and to request a free fourth book to be included.

Matott was in the corporate world when he wrote his first published adult book (though his fourth try at publishing). Random House picked him up and he has been writing full time and doing public speaking events ever since. Justin has been a storyteller all his life. In his books he blends real life events with imagination, believing there are stories all about us, just waiting to be written down.

A best selling, award-winning author of books for children and adults, Matott finds much of his inspiration while in schools, listening to the "AMAZING IMAGINATIONS" of kids and from his own sons and family. Matott spends days writing with his Rhodesian Ridgeback girl Butters. Matott enjoys many sports, hobbies and interests besides his first love of writing. The likelihood of an inspiration will come from weekly ski trips and jogging with his pup. There is just something about the rhythm of activity that inspires humor and creativity.
