My name is Eyal (pronounced "Ale," like the beer) Goldshmid. (That's me on the right.) I have been writing professionally, both in staff and freelance positions, for more than a decade and currently pen a weekly column for the Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers. In addition, I've written features for several newspapers and magazines, including the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Orlando Sentinel, Over Time Magazine, Parenting Teens Network, GRAND Magazine and more.

Web-wise, I've created content on a variety of subjects for websites like Citysearch.com (where I covered subjects like tourism, arts and entertainment, restaurant and food and sports) and TheSlant.com (as the site's theater and film reviewer). I have also helped design, develop and manage content for TCPalm.com and OrlandoSentinel.com.

I have several years of public relations and marketing writing experience, and over the years I've managed to produce copy for everyone from restaurants to teachers to insurance sites, to name a few. Visit my Samples to see some of my writing examples.

Creatively, I have published poetry and short-fiction in a variety of literary journals and have written three novels (sadly, still unpublished -- but I'm working on it). I'm an enormous movie buff as well and will spend hours discussing the symbolic minutia of Bergman's Cries and Whispers, if anyone's game.
