Matt Bell has signed on to join Big Other and will begin posting in the new year. As Aaron Burch mentioned here, Matt has a lot of plates spinning like his prolific writing, editing The Collagist, keeping up his own blog, and contributing to Html Giant. I’m psyched to see what he’s going to bring here.
