Journalism
Emma Forrest began her writing career at the age of fifteen when she wrote a story on Madonna for the London Evening Standard. A column in a national newspaper followed and so did the job title of full-time writer. Her "Generation X" column for the Sunday Times saw her leaving school to tour the world with various britpop/indie bands reporting on their "on the road" antics. The vanished Manic Street Preacher member Richey Edwards was the first person she ever interviewed.
Emma has also worked for such publications as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, Time Out, The Guardian, NME, Interview and Blackbook, where she has interviewed celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Brad Pitt. Most recently, she contributed an essay to the record Ceremonials by Florence and the Machine.
Novels
She has written three novels: Namedropper (1998), Thin Skin (2002), and Cherries in the Snow (2005).
