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:
“It is a mass language only in the same sense that its baseball slang is born of baseball players. That is, it is a language which is being molded by writers to do delicate things and yet be within the grasp of superficially educated people. It is not a natural growth, much as its proletarian writers would like to think so. But compared with it at its best, English has reached the Alexandrian stage of formalism and decay.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
