Matthew Hubbard

Hi, hello!

I’m stepping away from this platform and will not be checking it regularly. My main social media profiles are on Instagram and Threads @matthewhubbard. Information about me, my books, and how to contact me is available on my website www.matthewhubbardwrites.com.

Thank you so much, Eric!

When getting even doesn't work out the way you intended... but maybe that's good because of what it leads to. Meet the next book on our list of 2025 nominees, THE LAST BOYFRIENDS RULES FOR REVENGE by @matthewhubbard.bsky.social #booksky #YAreads

Happy Book Lovers Day from the Last Boyfriends & the Rebels 📚💕

The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge is like The First Wives Club with 3 queer boys in Alabama who set out to get revenge on their exes but start a student rebellion against “Don’t Say Gay.” The Rebel’s Guide to Pride has a bad boy who throws speakeasies after a small-town MAGA mayor bans Pride.

just think, while you’ve been gettin’ down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world, you could’ve been gettin’ down to this sick book

#booksky

I hope you enjoy the Last Boyfriends!

Some new books are waiting for me 🤩 @matthewhubbard.bsky.social @jmvtol.bsky.social

I’ve turned in my 1st round of edits for DROP DEAD HANDSOME (my queer Miss Congeniality romcom book)!

Can’t wait to scream about my short, bisexual king who has to compete against his ex-girlfriend in a pageant…while falling for his male escort…while someone is sabotaging him.

Coming Fall 2026. 👑💖

Thank you so much, Eric! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Just finished reading ‘The Rebel’s guide to pride’ and I absolutely loved it! Thank you @matthewhubbard.bsky.social 🏳️‍🌈

I sweet talked my friends to come over for a KPop Demon Hunters movie night so they can obsess over HUNTR/X (and Jinu) as much as I do 😌

Typically the paperback is around a year after initial release date, so it should be sometime in May!

Thank you so much for these kind words, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it — you’re an honorary last boyfriend!

THE LAST BOYFRIENDS RULES FOR REVENGE by @matthewhubbard.bsky.social - a glorious rebellion of a book!

Ezra's revenge on his ex turns to a student revolution-homophobes haven't heard of the Streisand Effect.

Unrelenting, powerful, adorable romance included!

I dived into the queerness of the 90s Batman movies and the history of queer identities in comics — plus queer book & graphic novel recommendations!
