Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
Five Things You Need To Know To Succeed In The Beauty Industry
The global beauty industry is more than a half a trillion dollar
business. What does one need to do if they want to start a
successful beauty business? What does one need to succeed as an
executive in a large beauty brand?
We would like to interview leaders who have either started a
successful beauty business, or executives in a large beauty
brand. Priority will be given to leaders and executives of
color, but anyone can apply and be interviewed.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:
https://medium.com/authority-magazine/constant-contact-cmo-john-orlando-why-you-need-to-hug-and-believe-what-your-data-is-telling-you-fbb1e3672d91?source=friends_link&sk=2ecc2724a3829e66cb08a3b30598bfa6

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/social-impact-heroes-how-amber-zenith-emily-nelson-have-helped-to-reignite-a-love-for-aerobic-workouts-across-north-america/
In addition, after the all interviews are completed, an article
featuring the ideas from the best interviews will be submitted
to Buzzfeed and Entrepreneur.com, like these we have done:
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/345415
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/340907
https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/339554
The Buzzfeed article will look similar to this:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewziegler/heres-what-the-best-athletes-of-the-90s-look-lik
Individuals who are accepted for this series will be featured in
at least 2 - 4 articles.

primary leads for the series. Most interviews will not require
phone interviews and can be done by email. Requirements:
We would like to interview leaders who have either started a
successful beauty business, or executives in a large beauty
brand. Priority will be given to leaders and executives of
color, but anyone can apply and be interviewed.

school this year will be unlike any other. We're rounding up the
must-have items to add to your list for little kids all the way

affiliate retailer like amazon, target, walmart, best buy, sams
club, etc.
You can check if the retailer you're trying to pitch is

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 16 July
Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter with CTW
Features. We will be publishing a nationally syndicated special
section called "Holiday Entertaining" in late fall that will
publish in newspapers and websites across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for past syndicated content
samples from CTW Features). For one of the stories running in
this section, I'm looking to interview holiday entertaining
experts, professional decorators, chefs, physicians and
infection control experts for the following story:
'Tis the season for social distancing: Play it safe this holiday
season when hosting family and friends. This story will suggest
why it's probably best to take pandemic-related precautions if
you plan on having any loved ones over to celebrate the holidays
this year, with tips from experts on how to entertain with
safety in mind yet without spoiling the fun. I can only accept
full-sentence written responses (via email) that I can use as
quotes. My deadline is noon central, Thursday, July 16.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it likely that coronavirus concerns will
linger into the holiday season this year? 2. Why should people
expecting to host a holiday event/dinner with family/friends
take coronavirus concerns seriously? What should they be
concerned about and why? 3. What specific/detailed tips can you
suggest to play it safe before and during a holiday event
hosting at your home? This is the heart of my story, so please
provide plenty of smart tips on how to reduce COVID-19 risks
without spoiling the party. 4. What holiday
traditions/expectations may need to be adapted/changed in order
to reduce coronavirus risks and keep attendees safe? 5. What
should party hosts and their guests keep in proper perspective
here (e.g., this is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of event; 2021
holidays will likely get back to normal, etc.)? 6. Under what
circumstances is it best to cancel your holiday hosting plans
altogether (e.g., you find out a family member gets COVID-19
ahead of the holidays, etc.)? 7. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter with CTW
Features. We will be publishing a nationally syndicated special
section called "Holiday Entertaining" in late fall that will
publish in newspapers and websites across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for past syndicated content
samples from CTW Features). For one of the stories running in
this section, I'm looking to interview holiday entertaining
experts, professional decorators, chefs, Christmas historians,
and other experts for the following story:
Start a new holiday tradition this year. This article will
recommend the benefits of beginning a new holiday
tradition/ritual that your family and loved ones can repeat
every year when you gather for entertaining, with an explanation
from experts as to why keeping traditions alive is so important
and fun. Examples of a new tradition could include: a visit from
a costumed Santa who makes everyone perform to earn their
present from his bag of gifts; the reading aloud of "The
Nightmare Before Christmas"; outdoor caroling to the nearby
neighbors; family volunteering at a nearby soup kitchen/food
pantry/church/charity, etc. before you partake in that evening's
festivities, etc. I can only accept full-sentence written
responses (via email) that I can use as quotes. My deadline is
noon central, Monday, July 20.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why is recommended and important to create and
practice traditions over the holidays? What are the benefits of
keeping traditions alive? 2. Please name some common holiday
traditions families celebrate/participate in and why? 3. Please
suggest at least three worthwhile holiday-themed traditions that
readers can introduce to their families this holiday season,
with details and reasons why you recommend it as well as steps
involved (e.g., everyone gathered at the Xmas eve party goes
caroling on the block, everyone decorates a second tree with
"Hope" ornaments they create onsite, a volunteer reads The Night
Before Christmas and this tradition rotates every year, someone
dresses up like Santa to pass out gifts to everyone attending,
etc.) 4. Can you name a real-life tradition you've personally
participated in around the holidays and share why you've enjoyed
it/recommend it? 5. What are some traditions that aren't
recommended (e.g., may cause injury, be considered offensive,
etc.)? 6. Any other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this
topic? 7. What is your full name, title, company, city/state
location, and email address?
