A n n a r c h y

I am Ann Handley, and this is my personal web log. This is a place to talk about the state of “Annarchy.” Annarchy is my world: a general state of disorder and occasional (yes!) chaos. Here, I talk about the interesting bits of life, the stuff that doesn’t fit into either my business blogging or freelance editorializing. Often, those “interesting bits” are the intersection of our home lives and technology, or the way new technologies change the way we live our lives.

By day, I am the Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs — which means that I heads up All Things Content on the MarketingProfs Web site and am the Primary Caregiver of its blog, the MarketingProfs Daily Fix, as well as a contributor. I also write for The Huffington Post.

In a previous life, I co-founded ClickZ.com. Even before that, I was a longtime freelance journalist, writing and editing all sorts of content flotsam and jetsam — everything from local politics to business to babies to travel to start-ups to banking to humor. I wrote regularly for the Boston Globe as well as a million (give or take) mainstream and trade publications. I wasn’t discerning — the truth is, I wrote for anything that would put bread in my jar.

I live near Boston in a slightly creaky, comfortable house with 2 kids, 4 dogs (long story), good coffee in the kitchen, decent wine in the cellar, a stack of New Yorkers by my bed, and an occasional field mouse in the laundry room.

And by the way, that’s a photo of me above, circa 1966, in front of my Dad’s red ‘65 Mustang. I’m about 3.
