Person or Story Wanted: I gave my baby to my parents.
Where the story will appear: Daily Newspaper Story.
More info: We are looking for the real life version of the Eastenders storyline where pregnant teen Lucy offers to give her baby to her parents Ian and Jane.
The real mum should be quite young, like Lucy and didn’t want to abort the baby but knew that her parents would be able to give it a good upbringing. Ideally the parents should have wanted another child, but were unable to have more for whatever reason.
It should be a positive story, looking at how the relationships have worked well, how the child has benefitted from having loving grandparents and how the mum has enjoyed having her child around.
Person/Story Criteria: The mum should have had the child in her teens. Her parents can be any age. The child can be any age now up to a teenager. This will require a chat with the whole family and a family picture. We will pay a fee on publication.
Person or Story Wanted: Women who love their very different bodies.
Where the story will appear: Sunday Newspaper Story.
More info: We are looking for women who have unusual/different bodies. Their faces must be considered ‘good looking’ and have bodies that are different from the norm. Examples of what we\’re looking for are:
-A very large woman who\’s proud of her plus size curves.
-A very tall woman.
-A very short woman.
-A woman with a lot of tattoos on her body.
-A female bodybuilder.
-A female amputee.
Any other women who have ‘different’ bodies to the norm, are beautiful and love how they look. We would prefer for them not to have appeared in the press before.
Person/Story Criteria: Aged 18-35, Female.
Person or Story Wanted: His affair made us stronger….
More info: URGENTLY looking for a couple case study where the woman has forgiven her partner for cheating. We just need a short chat about how she forgave him and move on. Need a picture of them together, but we could pixellate his face if necessary and pay generous fee…
Person/Story Criteria: 20-45
Person or Story Wanted: Looking for a woman or man who’s marriage has been affected by their mother in law.
Where the story will appear: Daily Newspaper Story.

Maybe they lived with their mother in law and their marriage has improved since she moved out? Maybe the husband feels the Mother in law negatively affected their marriage. Whatever the mother in law story we’d been keen to hear it! Thanks.

Person or Story Wanted: Victims of copycat brides.
More info: Looking for comments/anecdotes from brides who have had their wedding ideas copied by another bride, or who copied someone else’s wedding – anonymity is fine! The sorts of anonymous examples I’m after are anecdotes from brides who had to deal with things like another friend announcing she’s marrying the same week as you, or in the same venue with the same band and decor, or buying the same dress, or having the exact same readings, first dance and ring, or copying your invites etc – so not just friendly borrowing of a nice idea but getting a bit OTT with the copycat behaviour! Especially if they had similar guest lists or, even worse, the copycat ends up having her wedding first and then the bride feared looking like she copied her!
