Alistair Forrest

Alistair Forrest decided to be a writer on the day his English teacher ticked him off in front of his classmates for being too descriptive in his essay on Macbeth. Quietly defiant, he embarked on a career in journalism with the South Wales Echo, always endeavouring to report the facts without resorting to the sin of flowery wordiness. His career took him through court and political reporting for several newspapers, as principal of a PR company, then as editor of a series of magazines in the photographic, health and travel markets.
