Media, Event, and Public Speaking Career
In October 2000, Vegetarians in Paradise bestowed its "24 Carrot Award" upon Marcus for his efforts to bring the vegan message to the public through his writing and his internet website.
Marcus is one of several people who provided information used in the writing of the book Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism (2008) by Mark Hawthorne.
Marcus wrote the Foreword to Vegan Lunch Box: 130 Amazing, Animal-Free Lunches Kids and Grown-Ups Will Love! by Jennifer McCann (2008).
In 2008, Marcus changed his podcast format to a shorter, weekly podcast, called "VegTalk". These podcasts feature interviews with notable people in the vegan movement while still having some of the similar content as the previous podcasts. People interviewed in these podcasts include Jonathan Safran Foer, Paul Shapiro, and Nathan Runkle. These podcasts are available for free online listening at http://feeds.vegan.com/vegtalk.
Marcus's most recent book is Nexus 7: Basics and Beyond (Mocana Productions, 2012), about Google's Nexus 7 tablet computer.
In addition to his regular podcasts, books, and Vegan.com, Erik Marcus is known as a conference and public speaker who travels widely across North America. His early career writing software has been folded into his current technical ventures.

—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Religion, you know, enters very deep; in reality it is the deepest impression I have in speaking to people, that they are or that they are not of my religion.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
