About

My name is Chris Malloy, and I'm a writer covering food, culture, innovation, tech, and more. These days, I live in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert.

My specialty is feature writing. I’m most at home far from home, telling stories about great challenges and people on epic quests. I follow my natural curiosity and take an immersive approach.

For stories, I’ve joined a quest to brew beer in a forest, hiked to a lost frontier-era orchard with biologists, and followed urban foragers down cracked city alleys. I’ve toured drylands farms revitalizing ancient crops, visited dying rivers, studied digital asset and solar energy, harvested saguaro fruit with Tohono O’odham, and gone hunting with Apaches.

I’ve written for Bloomberg, The Guardian, The Boston Globe, Saveur, Bon Appetit, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and many others. I’ve also written for deep tech startups. These days, I take on just a few projects per year.
