Matt De Reno is a local author living in the Ross Township area of the North Hills of Pittsburgh and is also the publisher of AcrossPittsburgh.com (yes, this very website).  

Besides writing books, Matt De Reno is the publisher and managing editor of Across Pittsburgh. He is also the founder and president of Scratch Writing, Inc., where he helps authors create and distribute their works. His most notable contribution to the literary world is his novel, The Midas Protocol, which has been hailed as an ingenious take on modern science fiction that combines elements of fantasy and adventure. 

Matt believes that there are no limits to what technology can do for literature and publishing today and community development. Across Pittsburgh provides a platform to access great stories about the City of Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, while Scratch Writing creates opportunities for writers to share their work with a wider audience.

Through these two platforms, Matt strives to make sure everyone has access to quality content so they can continue learning, growing, and inspiring others. With Across Pittsburgh leading the way, he hopes to revolutionize how people explore and celebrate Pittsburgh while readers and writers engage with his fiction. 

Matt's dedication to his work is evident in all that he does. He doesn't let anything stand between himself and his goals for Across Pittsburgh, Scratch Writing, and The Midas Protocol. As a passionate advocate for the power of words, Matt continues to create stories that will make an impact across Pittsburgh, writing genres, and generations alike. Whatever project he tackles next, it's sure to be both entertaining and thought-provoking!
