Erik Schmidt writes, because

writing is how I think, discover new things, and create. I’m an author and senior writer + brand strategist for agencies, nonprofits, and higher education. I specialize in turning technical or complicated topics into stories, and my experience blends creative writing with hard research, marketing, and editorial management.

My first book, “Black Tulip: The Life and Myth of Erich Hartmann, the World’s Top Fighter Ace,” was published by Casemate in 2020, translated into several other languages, and re-released in paperback in early 2023.
