Story / Case Study Wanted: Amazing and Inspiring women of 2009
Media outlet: Sunday Newspaper Magazine.
Story / Case Study Description:: We are currently writing a piece about the most inspiring women of 2009 who have achieved incredible things this year. Specifically we’re looking for women that have perhaps campaigned to change a law after a personal tragedy, set up an amazing life-changing charity or something similar. All case studies will be paid.
Story Criteria: Needs to be women aged 18-40 who haven’t really appeared anywhere else, aren’t doing any similar features and would be available to do a shoot either this Friday or the following Monday.

Story / Case Study Wanted: Women aged 19-35 for a feature titled: “My Christmas wish came true!”
Media outlet: Glossy Magazine.
Story / Case Study Description:: We’re researching an upbeat, positive, four-case-studies-in-one report for a Glossy Magazine Christmas issue. We’re looking for four women, age 19-35, whose circumstances have changed hugely for the better during 2009.
So, maybe they wished for:
- LOVE. Perhaps they were single at Christmas 2008, and made a resolution to go on a real mission to find love this year, going on loads of dates/setting up their own dating agency/writing a dating book etc – and are now with the man of their dreams.
- MONEY. Perhaps they were in a dead-end, badly-paid job in 2008, but this year they set up an amazing new business/found an amazing new job and are going to end this year making a huge profit/enjoying their new salary/perks.
- FAMILY. Perhaps they always knew they were adopted/had a sibling, and in 2009 they were finally reunited with their birth mum/long-lost sister, etc.
- A BABY. Perhaps they had been trying for kids for years, and this year they finally became a mum in an interesting way, eg: adopting a baby from China; using a sperm donor; etc.
- WEIGHT LOSS. Perhaps a year ago they were overweight and unhappy, but this year, for an interesting reason, they finally shed several stone and now have the body of their dreams.
We will pay each case study for their time and our deadline is the end of this week.
Story Criteria: Case studies should be 19-35 years old, willing to be shot and to provide collect photos if required.

Story / Case Study Request: Looking to Interview a Sex Worker or Former Sex Worker.
Media Outlet: Women’s Magazine.
Newspaper / Magazine Article Info: We are searching for a case study of either a woman who is working as a prostitute at the moment (preferable) or a woman who used to work as one and is willing to talk about their experiences. We want to show the real side of prostitution, so not someone who is just going to say that she loves working as a high class escort and it takes her all over the world etc, but someone who probably does it out of necessity, and can speak truthfully about the profession without “glossing it up.”
Case Study Criteria: Female, aged ideally 18-39. Deadline is asap this week. Case study would need to be photographed.

Story / Case Study Wanted: Women who have had their eggs frozen so they can delay motherhood.
More info: We are not looking for women who have had their eggs frozen because they have cancer or another medical condition, but specifically because they are in their twenties or thirties and because of their career or because they haven’t found a partner, need to delay motherhood and are freezing their eggs as a ’safety net’.
Story / Case Study Wanted: We are looking for a woman who has been recently widowed who deserves a special day before Christmas.
More info: We are working on a feature where we’re hoping to find a case study who has been through a really hard time this year and need some cheering up before Christmas. So we’re looking for a widow who is really dreading Christmas who we could do something nice for (it’s sort of like a ‘grant a wish’ type of feature, so she can pick whatever she wants to do). If you know if anyone who has a really moving story, we\’d really like to hear from you.
Special criteria: It must be a woman aged 18-35.
Story / Case Study Wanted: Young women who’ve bought DIY botox kits online to use at home, perhaps with catastrophic results.
More info: We’re looking for people who have bought DIY botox kits online to inject themselves at home. We need really strong case studies. For example:
- teens using Botox to ward off wrinkles and buying kits online because it’s cheaper and they cannot afford the real thing.
- people who’ve done the injections themselves and got it wrong.
- DIY botoxers risk paralysis and blindness and the drug has also been linked to 16 deaths in the US, so any extreme examples with shocking photos to illustrate.
- any DIY botox addicts, using it more frequently than every 3 months.
- Any other shocking stories linked to DIY botox.
Special criteria: Preferably female.
