Name: Brittany Anas Apartment Therapy

Category: General

Email: query-bqkf@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Apartment Therapy

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 5 January

Query:

Hello!

For a tip-driven homebuying guide, I'm looking to hear from real
estate professionals (mortgage brokers + real estate agents only
for this one, please) on a few different topics.

Please answer one or two of the following questions that best
fits your area of expertise:

* What should first-time buyers know (but often don't) about
financial gifts that help shore up downpayments? * Home prices
are hitting new highs. What lesser-known tips do you have for
first-time buyers entering this market? * There's a historically
high number of people moving. How can first-time buyers ensure a
smooth move? I'd love some out-of-the-box tips here, for
instance: How can you get more flexibility to go month-to-month
if you're renting? * First-time buyers are hearing about
record-low interest rates. But what should they know about who
is actually qualifying for those rates? How can they position
themselves to get the best rate possible and what expectations
do they need to temper? * Bigger homes with more rooms are in
high demand amid the pandemic. Again, any lesser-known tips for
first-time buyers who might want to find a spacious home, but
are struggling to do so in this tight market? * What are some
tips for first-time buyers who are considering a custom build /
new build? * What should buyers moving from the city to the
suburbs know about the difference in the real estate markets? *
Intergenerational living is shaping housing trends. What tip(s)
do you have for buyers who may have family living with them?

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 8 January

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for HomeStyle,
a nationally syndicated home improvement/design section
published weekly in newspapers across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview interior designers, home improvement experts, spatial
planners, de-clutterers, and other professionals/experts for the
following story:

Time for a pandemic decluttering. A recent study by Modsy
(details at
https://blog.modsy.com/uncategorized/modsy-2020-covid-inspired-design-trend-report/)
found that 60% of respondents realize their homes were
disorganized, and 77% were so stressed by their home
surroundings that they undertook DIY home or room redesign
projects during the quarantine. This article will share the
study's results, including the 10 most stressed states in terms
of home spaces, and provide recommendations on how to de-clutter
and spiff up your home now that we are nearing (hopefully) the
end of the coronavirus crisis. Below is a list of questions I'm
seeking answers to. I can only accept written responses via
email. My deadline is noon central, Friday, January 8, 2021.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or surprising about
the previously mentioned study results and why? 2. Why do you
believe so many homeowners think their homes are disorganized
and worthy of remodel/redesign? What factors have contributed to
this mindset over the past year? 3. What detailed
recommendations would you offer to readers to de-clutter and
spiff up their homes now that we are nearing the end of the
coronavirus crisis? What can/should homeowners be doing? 4. What
do homeowners need to keep in proper perspective here so that
they're not that hard on themselves and so that they don't go
overboard in their wishes to de-clutter/remodel? 5. Any other
thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic? 6. What is your
full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for HomeStyle,
a nationally syndicated home improvement/design section
published weekly in newspapers across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview interior designers, painting experts, color designers,
remodelers, and other professionals/experts for the following
story:

Earthy and warm hues beat the pandemic blues in 2021. A recent
survey of designers by 1stDibs (details at
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/1stdibs-reveals-2021-trends-from-its-annual-designer-survey-whats-in-whats-out-and-the-impact-of-covid-19-on-the-design-industry-301190587.html)
found that, while jewel tones came out on top for the second
year in a row -- with Emerald picked by 24% and Cobalt Blue/Navy
by 23% -- warm, earth tones saw a dramatic rise, indicating that
cozier hues are gaining in popularity. Burnt Orange and Mustard
Yellow tied with 22% of the vote, showing the biggest increase
from last year: In fact, Yellow and Orange hues as a whole were
up 13% and 15%, respectively. Rounding out the Top 5 is white,
which also came in with 22% of the vote, an increase of 11% YOY.
This story will highlight the key findings and provide insights
from experts as to why these colors are more in demand right
now. Below is a list of questions I'm seeking answers to. I can
only accept written responses via email. My deadline is noon
central, Friday, January 8, 2021.

QUESTIONS: 1. What did you find interesting or surprising about
the previously mentioned study results and why? 2. Why do you
believe that jewel tones are so in demand lately, especially
considering the coronavirus? What factors are behind this trend?
3. Why do you believe that earth tones and warm hues are also
popular right now, especially considering the coronavirus? What
factors are behind these trends? 4. What should homeowners
consider carefully before choosing new paint/interior colors? 5.
What are your personal color/hue recommendations when it comes
to paints and interior colors for 2021? Please name exact paint
brands/color names and numbers and where these colors are best
applied (which rooms/areas). Also explain why each of these
colors you are recommending are worthy candidates and in fashion
right now. 6. Any other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this
topic? 7. What is your full name, title, company, city/state
location, and email address?

Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for HomeStyle,

interview interior designers, spatial planners, homeowners,

Zoom shui: Conduct videoconferencing in style by spiffing up the

paint colors, decor, organization, and more. Below is a list of
questions I'm seeking answers to. I can only accept written
responses via email. My deadline is noon central, Friday,
January 8, 2021.

QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it a good idea for homeowners who plan to
continue videoconferencing/using Zoom to give extra thought to
designing/improving their on-camera area (where they sit and the
backgrounds behind it)? What kind of a message does a
well-planned/designed interior background for Zoom send? 2. What
detailed tips/suggestions do you recommend for how to
design/improve your on-camera area? This is the heart of my
story, so please provide detailed tips and examples. 3. What
should homeowners be cautious of or avoid when it comes to
planning their on-camera areas? 4. What should homeowners also
consider carefully before investing time and money into this
project, especially considering that this area may not be used
for videoconferencing indefinitely? 5. Any other thoughts, tips,
or suggestions on this topic? 6. What is your full name, title,

Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting cloud unicorn companies to feature in lengthy
feature stories. We are interested in interviewing the
entrepreneur who can and is willing to discuss, at length, the
nuances of the strategy and process of company building,
spanning topics such as bootstrapping, financing, positioning,
customer acquisition, channels, team building, etc. To pitch,
please provide revenue level, industry (Our interests:
E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile, Social, Big Data,
IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming, Healthcare IT, Online
Education, etc.) and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile.
We don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the
series on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is
part of the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose
aim is to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in
annual revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to
teach other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial
waters. You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your
lessons from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and
practicing entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships
with many venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes
(India), Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

2000-2010 or between 1970-1980. Where you volunteered does not
matter, nor does the length of your service (PCRVs welcome!).

Requirements:

If you are a woman who served in the Peace Corps between
2000-2010 or 1970-1980, please reach out. Tell me who you are,
where you served and when, what motivated you to join the Peace
Corps, and a little about your experience abroad and how it
shaped your life/career/global perspective. If it sounds like
you may be a good match for my article, I'll reach out with
additional questions. Thank you in advance for your time and
consideration!

94) Summary: Underserved Travelers

Name: Tonya Fitzpatrick World Footprints

Category: Travel

Email: query-bpue@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: World Footprints

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 6 January

Query:

We are interested in interviewing travelers with various
abilities and challenges (autistic, blind, deaf, dyslexia, etc.)
who can talk about their unique travel experience and share
considerations for the travel industry and travel community on
how to be more accommodating. We want to use your interview to
raise awareness.

Requirements:

SERVICE PROVIDERS: If you have a UNIQUE accommodation (i.e.,
Autism room at airport or hotel) let us know. We do not want to
know about general solutions or features (i.e., large elevators
for wheelchairs, ramps, Braille on elevators) because those
features should be offered in compliance with ADA laws. We are
looking for unique solutions to unique travel problems.
