Website relaunch

Welcome to the new MattCardin.com! Today marks the relaunch of this site with a fresh design and a completely reconceived approach and page structure. It’s a transition that kicks me down 14 years of memory lane.

I originally launched a static HTML website at this address in 2009. It had a format that I kept unchanged for the next eight years:

By 2017 that was feeling kind of stale, so I redesigned and relaunched it looking like this:

That one lasted six years, until once again, very recently, I started feeling the need for an overhaul. After some research and soul searching, what finally emerged was the site you’re reading right now, with a blog in the middle and a sleeker overall appearance and approach to content organization, making it easier for me to keep you updated on my books and other projects.

I’ll use this blog to share publishing news, career updates, information about my interviews and media appearances, advice on writing and creativity, and other thoughts and insights along the way

At the same time, I invite you to subscribe to my Substack newsletter for a more in-depth stream of essays and articles:
