Tuesday, September 8th, 2009
Here’s a media request for anyone who would like to see their business in a book. There’s no guarantees on inclusion, but it is worth getting in touch if you fit the bill:
“I have been commissioned by How to books to write a book on women starting up in business. This is at the freelance or micro level, and I would like to gather some suitable case studies:
“Over the range I need diversity in geography, background, type of business, homeworking, getting (small) premises, employing one or two people, franchisees etc. I would send a questionnaire about how they started up, motivation, fears, challenges and so on. It would take about 30 minutes to complete and they would have a couple of weeks to do this.”

Media Op: Tips for Keeping the Kids Occupied in the Holidays
Monday, July 6th, 2009
How do you keep your kids your occupied in school holidays – £20 for your tip
Judy Yorke is working on a feature for a national newspaper about ways to keep children entertained during the long summer holiday. It’s about things to do eg games in the park or activities at home rather than places to go. She says, “We’re looking for mums to tell us the fun things their kids have got up to, in the hope of giving other mums ideas! Please email me with suggestions of the things your kids have done. We’ll need your full name, age and where you’re from, plus the first names and ages of your children. If your tip is selected I’ll ask you for a photo of you with them, and you will be paid £20 after publication.”
