A bit about what I do

Hey, I’m Alistair. I’m a freelance journalist who lives in London and writes for publications including Wired, Forbes, T3, TechRadar, The Independent and SlashGear, among others. I focus mostly on the automotive and consumer technology sectors, but also cover other beats, including Swiss watches.

As well as journalism, I offer copy-writing and product consultancy services.

Prior to going freelance in 2017 I was Deputy Technology Editor at IBTimes UK, the owners of Newsweek, and previous to that I held the role of Reviews Editor at a technology magazine called Mobile Choice.

As well as writing, I have a keen eye for detail when it comes to proof reading and sub-editing, while also having a decent understanding of cameras, microphones, video equipment and editing software like Adobe Lightroom, GarageBand and Final Cut Pro.

Always the early adopter, I recorded my first podcast and published my first YouTube video in 2007, and joined Twitter back in 2008. It was just all trees round here back then.
