Hi all. I’m officially in the Christmas mood. Got our tree up yesterday. :-) Anyone else making progress on the decoration front?
Also if you haven’t seen this pic of me hugging a cow at The Gentle Barn last weekend, check it out. Such a cutie!
If you missed our last Top Tier Consulting Talk (the monthly Zooms we do with Substack members of my joint PR substack with fellow writer Jill Schildhouse), we have a new one coming up. December 14th! Last time we had a ton of publicists join and did a nice little roundtable. We’re expecting a great turnout next week and hope you can sign up! This is open to members of all subscription plans (monthly, annual & founders). Sign up here:
Also if you missed our latest post, it has some great tips on how to handle getting ready to hit the ground rounding hard in 2023 in a media landscape filled with layoffs and changing mastheads.
A few things I’m sourcing for:
WOMAN’S DAY
I am working on a print feature on women who have done inspiring acts of forgiveness
In honor of National Reconciliation Day, we are looking for women who have performed inspiring acts of forgiveness. Nothing too dark but we’re looking for things like two sisters were estranged and then when a parent died, they reconciled and launched a foundation together in honor of said parent.
PARADE E-EDITION COVER STORIES:
Booking Celebrities for Parade E-edition Cover Stories - January & beyond
The weekly Parade Magazine e-edition reaches the same devoted (formerly print) readers via 900+ newspapers across the country and our stories are supported with tons of social and a big presence on parade.com. So the e-edition readers are subscribers to a newspaper (from LA Times to Washington Post and many many in between) and get the e-edition via their newspaper website, and then the story is also on our digital channels. In addition, some of our newspaper partners run an excerpt from our cover stories in their print editions. Reach out and I can send you a sample.
PEOPLE
Still looking to speak to one more person who throws a fun annual Christmas party for tips on how they do it.
Please email source options to NCPajer@gmail.com.
That’s it for now. Will be back with more but wanted to get these out ASAP!
