Eric Eskenazi

Brooklyn, NY

WriterPublisherDirector

My undergraduate studies at NYU focused on art history, playwriting and screenwriting, but I have since taken entrepreneurial and law courses at other institutions. Since 2010, I have already incorporated four small business devoted to my intellectual property. As of 2019, I am working on polishing up screenplays for either directing or producing features, shorts or web series projects. In addition, I do seek creative and like-minded professionals to collaborate, and possibly contribute funding to these pending projects.

Stephanie Baker Forston

Atlanta, GA

WriterCopywriterAccount manager

As a freelance writer, I have covered business, technology, finance, beauty, travel, and lifestyles for multiple web and print publications. My tone is very flexible, and I can adapt to the voice of nearly any publication. Additionally, my experience in PR and marketing has helped me develop a professional voice that lends itself to case studies, white papers, reputation management, and social media. The research and editing skills I honed early in my career have served me well in all my professional endeavors, and I maintain my memberships with AP and Chicago style manuals. I have a knack for understanding complicated subjects and explaining them in simple ways for a general audience. On occasion, I also moderate both sponsored and editorial webinars.
