WE Magazine for Women is Looking for WOMEN BUSINESS OWNERS!
Women in Business Interviews began during Small Business Week 2009. Although WE Magazine has featured Women Business Owners in the past, Small Business Week was the impetus to create a new Channel on WE.
“I had such a positive experience working with Heidi Richards, the dynamic publisher of WE Business and Lifestyle Magazine for Women. Things could not have gone more smoothly with our communication in terms of getting her list of questions answered along with providing a series of images she requested to accompany the profile she posted on behalf of Liz Toombs, a Certified interior Decorator and successful founder of the firm PDR Interiors. The article Heidi produced turned out very well, and she was even quick to respond a request to make one minor edit to the story posted. I would highly recommend that you engage Heidi as she has one of the top platforms drawing attention to accomplished and compelling women doing business in the fast-paced world we live in!” Thomas Smith, Communications Consultant in Atlanta, Georgia
WE are looking for women entrepreneurs who have owned their own company for at least 1 year and have a story to share. These companies can be located anywhere in the world as long as they are at least 51% woman-owned enterprises.
If you are a woman business owner or know a woman in business who should be featured, be sure to let us know. In fact, we are making it easy for you to cut and paste the interview questions and criteria into an email and respond.
“Oh Wow! that looks amazing! Thanks for sharing our client’s interview with your readers… The pieces in the section are always so interesting! Thanks Heidi!!” Lynda Buckley – Encore Publicity & PR
