Seeking U.S.-college graduates living in or near Birmingham
« on: December 08, 2016, 12:05:30 AM »
Greetings, I am a freelance writer based in Colorado, and I will be visiting Birmingham, Manchester, and maybe London in early February. One of my specialties is writing people profiles for college alumni magazines, so I'm looking for people living in these areas who are doing something impressive with their lives and who would make a good people profile. (The smaller the college the better, because you have to be ultra-famous or super-important to be profiled in the alumni magazine of a large university.)

If you (or someone you know) fits the above description and could meet with me in early February, please let me know. I'm also looking for other interesting topics to write about regarding my trip.

Thank you! Lisa

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your trip.

Just a quick FYI: Unless you have British or EU citizenship (or a visa that allows work) you cannot work while in the UK. You cannot undertake paid or unpaid work, including self employment. So I reckon that means not actually writing the profiles while in the UK.

Yes, the rules are weird!
2004-2008: Student Visa
2008-2010: Tier 1 PSW
2010-2011: Tier 4
2011-2014: Tier 2
2013-2016: New Tier 2 (changed jobs)
16/12/15: SET (LR) successful! - It's been a long road...
12/05/16: Citizenship ceremony!

Thank you for the advice. No, I didn't plan on working while in the U.K. (Although there must be exceptions for journalists; otherwise no visiting reporter could ever write while in the country.)
