Freelance Writers
There were many freelance writers, with many producing a regular, monthly column. They included Steve "The Pilgrim" Cooke, Stuart "The Balrog" Whyte, PD columnists Jerry Glenwright, Caroline Lamb (aka Steve Williams), Tim Blackbond and Keith Woods, fanzine columnist David Crookes and reviewers Richard Wildey and Angela Cook. David Crookes continues to write about the Amstrad as a freelance writer for Retro Gamer magazine.
One of the most memorable, however, was technical writer and covertape editor Richard Fairhurst. He ran a public domain library called Robot PD and he was also an accomplished computer programmer, most notably producing PowerPage and RoutePlanner. As well as a demo article writer for CPC Attack, he was editor of the Amstrad-centred BTL disczine and he was the final editor of the WACCI fanzine.

Famous quotes containing the word writers:
“If in the opinion of the Tsars authors were to be the servants of the state, in the opinion of the radical critics writers were to be the servants of the masses. The two lines of thought were bound to meet and join forces when at last, in our times, a new kind of regime the synthesis of a Hegelian triad, combined the idea of the masses with the idea of the state.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
