As some of you may know, I'm a freelance journalist. I have been doing some work with an English-language magazine based in Germany. (It's called Spotlight)
They're putting together a new feature about women in various points in their lives. How does a 30 year old feel compared to a 60 year old, for example.
The editor wants to find a woman (or many women) who are living childfree, whether by choice or by circumstance (such as PCOS-related infertility.)
I know this may not be the easiest thing to talk about, but if you feel comfortable in talking about it and wouldn't mind being interviewed, please PM me. Or, if you know someone who might fit this description, you can pass this along.
I'm not sure yet if I'll be writing the piece or if the editor will. But she is a very nice woman, originally from Ohio (I think it's Ohio - someplace in the US.)
Thanks ladies!

Oh yes - ideally, this person will be 30 years old or over.
I'm thinking that if a cyster fits the bill, it could be a good way to get a bit about PCOS in the media. It wouldn't be the focus of this piece, but maybe a future piece...

to add to this, looking for primarily non-Americans, as many Americans have already been included.
Could be random, I know, but if anyone can help, that would be great!
