Eric Shay Howard, Writer

I’m Eric. I live in Louisville, Kentucky. I’m a writer, editor, and teacher. I have an MFA in Creative Writing from the Bluegrass Writers Studio at Eastern Kentucky University. I also have an MBA.

I submit my creative work to literary magazines and journals. I’ll post links to any spaces that end up publishing my words. So far none have, but give me a few months, or a year, or ten.

The easiest way to see what’s new with me or what I’m up to is by checking my Instagram. I use my Instagram Story a lot. My latest Instagram posts are below.

Back. #uofl #louisville #writerlife #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #bgwsalum This week, I gave a craft lecture on character at the university on Monday, and Wednesday I read and defend my thesis for my MFA in Creative Writing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m VERY excited to almost be finished, but I’m almost low-key even more excited to finally have a @bgwritersstudio mug in maroon! Enjoying the sunset in Indianapolis this evening. I'm in Indy prepping for the move back to Louisville. I'm here with a friend and were going to enjoy the Indy things that I've been too busy this year to enjoy much of.

I also occasionally post words on my Threads.

I have a Twitter/X account but I don’t use it that much anymore, because there are so many options these days.
