KATE CHRISMAN is an American writer in Berlin who’s lived in Beijing, Shanghai, London, Taipei, Oakland, Washington DC, and Minneapolis.

Her half-hour dramedy Outsourced was the winner of the Bellem Entertainment TV Scholarship and a semifinalist in both the Austin Film Festival and the Stowe Story Labs Maven Fellowship. Previously, Kate reported from Mongolian coal mines and advised the Chinese government on transitioning to renewable energy. She is an environmentalist, policy-nerd, and an Oxford-comma fan who speaks English, Chinese, and embarrassingly bad German.
