Chrissie Buchanan

Marketer, Introvert Dynamo, Wordsmith For Hire

United States

My background in history, comedy, creative writing, and technology serves me well as a writer and marketer. I have a predilection for fact-checking and nitty-gritty details, and I tackle a variety of topics with relish.

In addition to writing about technology, finance, ecommerce, and travel, I also dabble in poetry, nano-fiction, and creative nonfiction. I wrote two plays that were included in The Young Playwrights Festival at the Horizon Theater in Atlanta.

I'm also a reformed standup comedian specializing in animal jokes.
