Media ops for mums and business women

Pick Me Up magazine is looking for mums who belong to a ‘Mums Club’ - anything from a baby swimming class to a regular coffee morning with a few other mums, to be featured in the magazine. They say, “We would love a picture of a group of mums and their babies to print on the Toddlygook page of the magazine, as a regular new feature. If you belong to a club, please send us a picture of your group via email and tell us a little bit about yourselves who you all are, where you meet and when (please include your telephone number on the email) and you’ll receive a £25 payment if the picture is printed!”

Woman and Home is looking for women, aged 40-50, who have recently launched a new career based on a previous experience/skill - but not one that has been gained through their career. I need images and details on the new business, what they did before and what inspired them to set up their own company.

If you want to find out more about either opportunity, email me. The Woman and Home case study is needed today.

Has your child got special needs?

I am co-writing a book looking at how to look after your relationship when your child has special needs. We want the book to be packed full of case studies of parents talking about their experiences, good and bad, and how parenting a child with special needs has impacted on their lives. 

I am looking for parents to fill in a questionnaire about their experiences.  If you don’t mind sharing what you have been through, to help other parents, please email mail@antoniachitty.co.uk

Sell your story?

If you want to get coverage for your business, wouldn’t you love a double page spread in a womens magazine? One of the ways to do this is to sell your story.

 Your story usually needs to be out of the ordinary - read the magazines to see what they cover - but sometimes simply overcoming struggles to set up your own business may be enough. Magazines will be interested in ‘Triumph over Tragedy’, so if you have come through illness, divorce or loss of a loved one, your story may appeal.

You can simply buy the magazines and look for contacts inside: some womens weeklies may even have a form for you to fill in. Alternatively, you can send your story off to an agency, where journalists with contacts will try to place it for you. Have a look at
