Christine Burright McGuigan is an Omaha native, aspiring sitcom maven, and awkward lady.

When not writing, reading, or watching TV (hey, it’s research) she can be found––well, pretty much nowhere because she doesn’t like leaving the house.

A 2018 graduate of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, she studied screenwriting and creative nonfiction. Attending college as an adult was fulfilling and rewarding, and also a crazy hellacious three years. While going to school and working two jobs, she also somehow found time to be a single mom to her son and yeah, sometimes letting your kid watch six straight hours of Gravity Falls counts as parenting.
