The Ampersand Syndicate
The Ampersand Syndicate

A one-person literary collective.

Despite the name, there’s no team here. No secret council of poets. Just one guy writing poems and short stories under a name that sounded fancier than Eric Montgomery’s Website.

The Ampersand Syndicate is where I collect the work that doesn’t fit anywhere else. The quiet poems, the short fiction, and the experiments that refuse to behave.


I only use one social platform, and that is Bluesky. It’s where I’ve found a community of writers and poets who keep the language moving.

I share a lot of my short poems and story ideas there, sparked by daily writing prompts.

This site exists for the pieces that don’t fit inside a post. The longer poems and the stories that breathe a little slower.
