Eric's story ...

True Story Project was founded by Eric Valentine, an award-winning writer-storyteller across three disciplines: marketing, journalism, and public speaking.

Valentine's writing career started by writing 'fake news' jokes for Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update segment. In 2012, he co-founded True Story, which paired his short stories and poetry with original, live music. Over the next 10 years, True Story and Valentine would go on to perform keynote speeches, a musical stage play off-Broadway (The Mammal Problem), at TEDxBoise, Treefort Music Festival, and more. Valentine is an alumnus of UCLA, where he graduated with two Bachelor of Arts degrees (Philosophy and Psychology).

Valentine now provides marketing services and business intelligence tools for small businesses, nonprofits, artists, and entrepreneurs from Los Angeles and New York to Tiranë and Tokyo through True Story Project, LLC—a proud partner of Meçe Consulting, Tiranë's one-stop shop for immigrants around the world looking to establish business and residency in Albania.
