Facetime Q and A with University of Montana alum Michael FitzGerald ’00 (Submittable.com)

UM is famous for the quality of writers produced by its Creative Writing Program, but not many of them go on to run nationally recognized tech companies based in Missoula. In fact, you could argue that Michael FitzGerald, M.F.A. ’00, stands alone in that category. FitzGerald is CEO of Submittable http://www.submittable.com , an enterprise software company that allows publishers to easily accept and curate digital content.

FitzGerald founded the company in 2009 with Bruce Tribbensee and John Brownell. Submittable now has more than 700,000 users and supports the editorial process of major publishers, including National Public Radio, The Chicago Tribune, and McSweeney’s Quarterly and Books.
