Got a great story you can't wait to tell?

THEN don't just save it for your mates!

Ever wondered where magazines and newspapers get their stories?

It could be you. I'm on the hunt for heartwarming, inspirational, quirky or entertaining stories for UK newspapers and magazines.

If you are in the UK and fancy being featured in a newspaper or magazine then please get in touch.

We love stories about people who have overcome the odds to have a family where the circumstances are truly "exceptional" or about inspirational lone parents.

But alongside these, editors also ask for stories from:

Media request: Author seeks mums to talk about sex and stuff

Kelly Rose Bradford is working on a non fiction book and would like to speak to mums who are prepared to speak honestly and amusingly about 'modern mummyhood', including their sex lives, relationships, infidelity and the impact of the internet on their lives.

She says she'd need to email them a questionnaire and then probably do a quick phone interview to go through it. She'd only use first name and age in the book. The women can be any age but they must be mums.

Get in touch to find out more.

Media request: Amicably separated couples who went through mediation or counselling

DEBORAH Dooley is looking for UK couples, aged up to into their 40s, with children aged around 11 or under who can talk to her about their experience of counselling/mediation and how this helped lead to an amicable divorce or separation.

There is a fee of £250 for those taking part. Deborah would need to speak to both ex partners, but most of the interview would be with the mum and they would need to be photographed. It's for a women's weekly magazine and the deadline is the last week of September. Please email me if you think you may be able to help.
