10/12/25 note: Please forgive the unfinished look of the site. The old version of the site had to be pulled offline due to a technical issue. I am now in the process of rebuilding it from the ground up. These growing pains will probably take me a week or two, as I have other priorities in life right now. Thanks for understanding.

Eric is an author, freelance writer, editor, occasional social media manager, and a guy who makes words appear on the page. For his latest projects, appearances, interviews, and whatever else, visit his blog page.

He is the author or coauthor of 12 books and counting, among them Stuff Every Husband Should Know (Quirk Books 2011), A Year of Hitchcock (Scarecrow Press 2009) and his latest, 2020’s The Films of Martin Scorsese: Gangsters, Greed, and Guilt. He ghostwrites for an array of business blogs, writes for newspapers and magazines, produces notable obituaries, and has a great vegetable garden.

He was the craft beer writer for the Philadelphia Weekly for two years, has written for Homebrew Talk, and used to maintain a craft beer blog.

Eric’s work has appeared in the Philadelphia Weekly, the legendary Weird Tales magazine, Boston Literary Magazine, and many others. He has written thousands of features, columns, SEO pieces, press releases, and just about anything else you can name. He has also written copy for dozens of websites. For several years he was Editor-in-Chief of a now defunct film and entertainment website, spent 13 years as a full-time journalist, many of them as an Editor-in-Chief, and has written for marketing agencies.

He’s also a social media marketer specializing in creating content for small businesses on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. He’s co-hosted a long-running indie YouTube show, has appeared on numerous shows to discuss film and television, had co-hosted two podcast series, and more.

When not writing for work, Eric writes for pleasure. His fiction has appeared in Leading Edge magazine, Electric Spec, 365 Tomorrows, Boston Literary Magazine, and others. With the help of an array of talented artists, he also independently released two comic anthologies. His murder mystery, “Little Footsteps at Bramson Manor,” has been performed live on stage.

He really dislikes writing this in the third person.

Eric lives at the Jersey Shore with his wife and son, where he grows vegetables, records space music, and makes model terrain.

He realizes he should probably get a good head shot taken, but it would feel so vain you’d probably think this page was about him. You can find him on Linkedin, though the truth is that he isn’t there all that often. He’s deleted his other personal social media accounts and instead focuses on his clients’.
