About Me
Hi, I’m Chris Young, an experienced freelance journalist, copywriter, editor, and content specialist based in Spain. I specialize in science and technology, covering a range of topics, from space, astrophysics, and astronomy to robotics and renewable energies. I also have extensive experience in content marketing with a strong grasp of SEO best practices.
Curiosity and learning are the cornerstones of my work. I have been lucky enough to interview fascinating leaders and thinkers, including NASA Administrators, former NASA astronauts, rocket company CEOs, renowned astrophysicists, and many more.
I have reported at the Mobile World Congress and have written for big tech and space firm clients, including Thales Alenia Space, NEC, and Siemens Energy. My most-viewed articles have earned more than a million page views apiece, and high-profile organizations that have shared and cited my articles include The New York Times and the SETI Institute.
A note on AI 10/03/26:
As of 2025, I have occasionally used LLMs for research and brainstorming, though only with the utmost transparency. It is by no means a replacement for thorough research and fact-checking.

Testimonials
“Chris is a very talented writer/journalist with great storytelling and research skills. He is very adaptive to different content types. He wrote breaking news, SEO articles, lists, branded articles, and exclusive articles for Interesting Engineering. He delivered nothing but quality work while we worked together. He's also very responsible for notifying his schedule to his managers in advance. Anyone who’s managed a team of remote writers should know how much value this has. I hope I'll have a chance to work with him again in the future.”
