NLIHC is pleased to welcome Matthew Clarke as writer/editor. As the newest member of the communications team, Matthew will advance the Coalition’s mission by providing technical writing and editing support to staff on major publications, internal and external communications, and development efforts. 
Before joining NLIHC, Matthew was a communications coordinator at the Newberry Library, an independent humanities research library in Chicago, IL, where he researched, wrote, and edited content for the library’s magazine, blog, social media accounts, e-newsletter, website, and other communications channels. Prior to joining the Newberry, he served as a writer/editor for several non-profit and educational organizations in the Chicago area. In addition to his work as a writer/editor, Matthew has taught writing and literature at colleges around Chicago, including the University of Illinois at Chicago, where for five years he served as a visiting lecturer in the English Department’s First-Year Writing Program.
Matthew is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago, where he received his master’s and doctoral degrees in English literature. His research focused on the ways publishing practices in Romantic-era Britain shaped access to new literature. He received his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Reed College.
