Michigan Business, Culture, Literature, and Remote Business/Investing Stories

Welcome to Cronicle Press, a Michigan business and culture blog for the remote worker, entrepreneur, and the growing Great Lakes Midwest tech and remote business scene. Ann Arbor is our home, and Muskegon on Lake Michigan is our summer home, but we cover narrative and human interest stories across Michigan and the Great Lakes region, including Great Lakes history and mythology, tourism, real estate investment, literature, culture and business stories related to remote work and the modern business climate.

Cronicle Press was founded by Archie Cowan, an Amazon software engineer and former chief technical architect for ITHAKA/JSTOR, and green tech editor and journalist Laura K. Cowan (Inhabitat, Winding Road, Automobile Quarterly, Ann Arbor Observer).

Cronicle Press started as a tech blog covering the emergence of Ann Arbor and Detroit as tech and startup hubs. It quickly evolved into a larger Midwest Great Lakes region tech and business blog, and then added content marketing services for tech startups, followed by returning to our roots in local human interest-style stories about businesses in Michigan and content to help you build your business or remote work lifestyle in the great state of Michigan (now rated #9 nationally for best states for business).

How We Help Businesses

Cronicle Press is a hybrid real estate / media focused business that works via fiction and nonfiction content marketing to promote the Michigan lakefront lifestyle. Through this media, we create advertising, content marketing, and media collab space for other Michigan-focused businesses. We also promote content that helps people move to Michigan or get a business started here, particularly a remote business that enables the lakefront vacation lifestyle that makes the Great Lakes so special. Join us!
