Matt Bullen (born Guildford, Surrey, 1969) is an English writer and polyamory advocate[1]. He lives in Seattle. He was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford and the University of Birmingham. He co-wrote some Family: the web series[2] episodes with Terisa Greenan. He has also written about polyamory for publications including The Idler. He has spoken about polyamorous parenting on national and international television,[3][4] and other forums[5] [6]. The Newsweek feature[7] that centered on his family, and on "Family: the web series", was listed as a Newsweek's Editors' Top Ten article in 2009[8].
Bullen and the family – particularly as parents of/caregivers to a child -- have been noted[9][10] as being public and outspoken about their relationships. In an interview in Details (November 2011), Bullen iterates his family's age-appropriate honesty with their son. He also suggests that polyamorous people are currently in a similar situation to homosexuals several decades earlier, in needing to start being more open about their relationships in public and in the workplace.
Bullen has contributed articles on other subjects to publications including Comedy Review -- he conducted what was likely the last[11] extensive interview with Monty Python's Graham Chapman -- and Dancing Times.
