My name is Gemma Calvert and I'm a freelance journalist writing a feature for a women's magazine, hooked off recent research, which revealed that dads who share childcare have a better love life than those who don't. It sparked a feature idea looking at how men's love lives differ depending on their age, relationships and home life.
I'm looking for a guys in all different marital situations - a stay at home dad or man who shares childcare, a full time working dad, a guy over 50, a single guy in his 30s and a man in his 20s in a long term relationship - to talk about their love lives.
This is by no means a smutty feature. It's a straight-talking, emotionally honest piece where the guys discuss whether they get enough [censored], how their home life impacts on romance, whether they want a better love life, how their love life makes them feel, do they talk about [censored] with their mates, what they talk about when they do etc.
It's going to be one of those features that all women love to read because it'll provide a rare and honest insight into men's minds. Yes we need some specifics about each guy's [censored] life itself but it's the emotional and reflective contribution here that truly counts.
I will need to talk to the interviewees on the phone for half an hour max. Then all the guys will be brought together for a shoot in a London studio where they'll be styled and groomed by professionals. We'll also need a photo album picture of each man with his partner if he has one.
There is a small fee available for this.
I ideally need to put all case study options to the editor this week so please get in touch if you're interested. I'll need a few details before I do that, which I can get during a five minute phone chat ideally today or tomorrow.
My email is GemmaCalvertWrites@gmail.com and my number is 07779290466 if you'd prefer to give me a call. If you want to check me out on twitter I'm at @TheGemmaCalvert.
Thanks
Gemma
