Christopher Cosenza Email & Phone Number

I am co-publisher of Ante Up, YOUR Poker Magazine. My magazine serves all poker players in the United States and has been publishing since 2008. I also recently published my first novel, Untraceable, in September 2012. You can find it on Amazon.com.I was a designer/editor for the St. Petersburg Times (now known as Tampa Bay Times) for more than 12 years. I began in its sports department in 1995, where I was the department's lead daily designer and college football designer. After nearly 10 years there I moved on to an exciting new venture with the Times called tbt* (Tampa Bay Times), a tabloid geared toward a younger audience. I got in on the ground floor when tbt* was merely a weekly. It has since turned into the fastest growing daily newspaper in the country. In 2005 the Times asked if I'd like to host a podcast, so I of course said yes. I started a show called Ante Up, which is dedicated to poker. I coined the phrase PokerCast at this time. We have grown into one of the finest poker shows on the Internet, winning the most prestigious award in the field, the Bluff Magazine Readers Choice Award for Best Poker Podcast. Not too shabby. We haven't missed a week in more than six years.Specialties: Editing, writing, teaching, designing publications.
