Gaining

Request from a journalist

Tammy Cohen, a professional journalist whom I know to be responsible and thoughtful, is interested in doing a story on gainers. Here's what she asked me to post:

A monthly women's magazine is looking for a woman, 35 or under, preferably from the UK, who'd a) be willing to talk about why she has chosen to be part of the community and what it means to her, and smiley would be happy to be photographed. There would be a fee for her time and trouble. The best way to contact me is via this email address tammycohen63@btinternet.com.

I'd be happy to chat with any of you who want to consider it, but I think you'd also find Tammy perfectly easy to talk to. She got in touch with me after the story in The Guardian.

As some of you know, I think working with thoughtful, honest journalists is an important way to combat all the negative stereotypes out there about us, so I hope a few people will respond.

Thanks, J
