ALAN MARTIN

                      I'm Alan and I'm a freelance writer in London. To my knowledge, I'm the only person in the Venn diagram of people who've written for both The New Statesman and Nuts. My LinkedIn profile contains a false qualification, but it was for a feature exposing something silly about the site, so I think it's basically okay? 
​
Beyond the aforementioned Venn diagram, I have bylines on Wired, CNET, Gizmodo UK (RIP), ShortList, NME, TechRadar, The i, The Independent, The Evening Standard, City Metric, Macworld, Pocket Gamer, Expert Reviews, Coach, The Inquirer (RIP), Rock Paper Shotgun, Tom's Guide, T3, PC Pro, IT Pro, Ideal Home, Livingetc, Stuff, Business Insider, The Bit, Wareable and Trusted Reviews amongst others. Some of my words have been syndicated by The Mirror, Ars Technica, Metro, Stuff.co.nz and MSN. You can also hear my voice in an interview with Talk Radio if you really want.

Between 2015 and 2018, I worked exclusively for Alphr* at Dennis Publishing, working on over 1,800 articles – first as Science Editor, then News Editor, Deputy Editor and finally Acting Editor.

News stories with personality and wit; consumer product reviews; interesting and memorable interviews; funny, viral or serious lists; opinion pieces; in-depth analysis or long-form features.  Whatever you need a freelance writer for, drop me a line – I'd love to hear from you.

*Important note: Alphr was crushingly abandoned and eventually sold off to another publisher after I left - so if you visit the site now, it doesn't bear much relation to my time in charge or, indeed, Dennis' original vision. In the most diplomatic way possible: don't judge me.
