Meet Eric

Eric Montgomery, March 22, 2024, Tacoma, Washington, Point Defiance Marina, Sunrise Photography

Hi there! I’m Eric, a poet and short fiction writer. I used to be a tech professional, but now I’m a full-time creative.

I write to explore the limits of what it means to be human. My writing ranges from simple honesty to genre-bending weirdness, and even children’s stories, but it’s always rooted in voice and feeling.

After spending decades in the IT industry, and a little over 25 years running my own company, I’m now building with words instead of code.

I share a lot of writing on Bluesky, often short pieces sparked by writing prompts. For longer stories, unreleased poems, and writing I don’t share anywhere else, consider becoming a supporter on my Patreon.

You’ll also find my published books here, along with links to my podcast (Prompted!).

No noise. No filler. Just the real stuff.


In Your Ears

  • PODCAST
    I host Prompted!, a podcast for writers who love the challenge of writing prompts. Every episode blends original work, reflections on the craft, and a fresh prompt to spark your next piece.
  • INTERVIEW
    I sat down with BOOKED, a podcast exploring the realms of creativity with indie writers. We talked about the therapeutic nature of writing, unsolicited criticism (a shared rite of passage), and had plenty of laughs along the way. Check out the YouTube episode here.

Stay Connected

I’m active on Bluesky, where I post poems, micro-fiction, and story snippets sparked by writing prompts—along with podcast updates and reflections on the creative life. It’s a space for sharing raw ideas, experiments, and the kind of writing that doesn’t wait for perfection.
