Writer

Matt Eberlein is a German-born, London-based writer and freelance content creator covering people, lifestyle and events for Flicker. He writes about gay culture, sobriety and modern queer life from the inside, the kind of writing that comes from living it rather than observing it. He volunteers with Under One Sky, walking the streets of London with a charity that believes change starts with one real conversation. At Flicker he writes about the people and moments that shape queer life today.
