About Matt Chandler

Matt Chandler is a longtime Super Lawyers freelance writer and the author of more than 45 children’s books. His magazine writing has sent him from The White House, where he covered President Obama, to a Buffalo Bisons minor league baseball game, where he dressed up as a bucket of blue cheese to participate in the legendary Chicken Wing race. His writing has earned a number of state and national awards, including six New York Press Association Awards for his feature writing and weekly column, “Just a Thought.” The American Society of Journalists and Authors selected his book, Side-by-Side Baseball Stars: Comparing Pro Baseball’s Greatest Players as the 2015 Outstanding Young Adult Book.
