Media Requests

This is a page for PRs who represent products or clients I may be interested in.

I am currently looking for the following. Please email me if you have something. NB In the case of products, I'm looking to hear from manufacturers or their PRs, not stockists.

For Vegetarian Living magazine, features pages

Currently looking for small, niche, one-man or one-woman all-vegan companies for a large feature for the magazine. Companies must have been founded by the individual, and have no other staff. I have some skincare, chocolate and cake companies, so especially looking for savoury food producers, vegan clothing / accessories and other ideas. *Must* be one-person shows. No exceptions.

For Vegetarian Living magazine, monthly men's page

NB. Anything for this section should be male-specific (ie not unisex)

* Men’s health stories and research / news items (especially with a vegetarian or nutritional angle).

* Grooming products – looking for men's body scrubs, men's lemon shower gels, travel shaving kits, and men's foot lotions for upcoming editions.

* Items of menswear or men’s accessories – preferably with an eco, organic or recycled twist, suitable for spring / summer editions. (Examples may include: menswear made from unusual / sustainable fibres like nettle, hemp or banana; vegan 'leather' sandals; wallets, jewellery or belts made from recycled rubbers or scrap metals.)

* Prominent vegetarian or vegan men, perhaps working in a senior role in a food, health, fitness, eco / green / conservationist field, willing to talk briefly about their lifestyles. This is for the regular 'Green Man' profile slot.

For Action Against Allergy Newsletter

I'm looking for products for hay fever sufferers, such as nasal sprays / washes, barrier ointments, anti-histamines and other affordable items. I'm not looking for supplements - unless they are specifically, exclusively for hay fever (and named to reflect the fact) - or for expensive gadgets / electrical-based treatments.

For SkinsMatter.com

* Natural and / or organic intimate skincare and feminine hygiene products - eg intimate washes, natural lubricants, alternative sanitary care, feminine wipes, natural underwear etc - for a 'tried and tested' review feature in Spring 2012.

* Skincare product ranges (ranges, not individual products) which are free from one or more key allergens - wheat/gluten, dairy, nut/peanut.

* News, new (ie upcoming) launches / products, stories and research on all things related to natural and organic skincare, ‘free from’ beauty, skincare and grooming products (ie free from parabens, SLS, petrochemicals etc), eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea and other skin allergies, skin irritations such as chronic itching, and problem skin conditions of all types.

For ad hoc features / blog posts on food allergy and intolerance...

* Volunteers with coeliac disease – of all ages and backgrounds, whether diagnosed recently or long in the past – who are willing to talk to me about living with CD, with a view to being featured as case studies in assorted publications, mainly health magazines. (For full details see the Coeliac Case Studies page on my blog.)

* Coeliac dietitians, nutritionists and gastroenterologists who are willing to talk about their specialisms and share advice and knowledge.

* Any new or interesting story on food sensitivities (coeliac, intolerance, allergy) or free from food (ie gluten-free, dairy free, nut free etc) - including new initiatives, food products, books, research etc.

Other items of interest...

Am always interested in hearing of innovative news, research, products and stories in the fields of health, nutrition, lifestyle, women's running, food (esp. vegetarian), menswear / men’s lifestyle and related areas.

Thanks!
