For a rush assignment for a national health magazine, I'm looking for a woman between the ages of 42 and 48 who is a bit more than a social drinker--someone who drinks enough that she wonders if she may have a drinking problem. This article will answer all your questions about what constitutes a drinking problem, how to know if you're affected, what the health ramifications are, etc. We'd need to run your name, age, and photo. I'm looking for someone who is not a writer. Please e-mail me at lindaformichelli@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Linda

Thanks, writesonwater! %^&@$ spam filters. Here are a couple other addresses to try: linda-eric@lserv.com, linda.interview@gmail.com. If those bounce, please let me know and I'll contact my ISP to see what's up.

Thank you so much!

You'd probably get better responses if it was anonymous. I'd definitely have someone in mind under that condition. i can't imagine anyone letting her photo be published next to the headline: Are You a Drunk?

I wish it could be anonymous! However, I think the photo will eliminate any anonymity. I'll be writing this and interviewing with utmost sensitivity; it's really about the woman's questions about alcohol we're focusing on, with a brief bit on her drinking habits, and I think it will help a lot of women who have the same questions. We have all the other women we need, but of course this is the toughest one!

Thanks much,

Linda
