My name is Eric Shay Howard.
I’m a writer, editor, and adjunct professor at universities in the Louisville, Kentucky area. I build and teach courses in English composition and business. I care deeply about public education and our freedom to learn new things.
With my part-time status at the universities, I often struggled with finding work outside of academia that worked around my teaching commitments. So, in the fall of 2025, after prepping one of my business management courses, I started my own consulting and training business teaching new entrepreneurs and business owners in the Louisville area skills in business writing, business management, and technology. My hope is to help the Louisville community build better businesses with stronger communication, writing, and management skills.
Education
Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, Eastern Kentucky University
Master of Business Administration, Western Governors University
Bachelor of Arts in English, University of Louisville
Additional Certificates and Experience
I also hold additional certificates in Project Management, in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and in Workplace Wellness from the University of South Florida.
I worked in IT at a law firm for over four years before transitioning to a teaching career.

What I use this website is for…
This website acts as a portfolio of my projects and experience, sort of like a business card.
My social media channels are linked to from this website. I link to my most-used social media accounts: Instagram and X, where I post my day-to-day happenings. I’m also building my YouTube channel. I plan to use it to host my video lectures for my composition and business students for now.
Once I’ve done something interesting enough, I usually post on my blog about it. I also share my thoughts on it when I need more space than my other accounts allot for. I like sharing my life and knowledge with people, and my blog is a long-form way that I can do that.
I also hope to share links to my publications, presentations, and lectures.
