Are you a journalist or broadcaster working on a piece about cats? I’m Paris Permenter, and I can provide story ideas, expert quotes, interviews, and more. As a fellow freelance writer accustomed to deadlines, I’m happy to meet your deadline!
I can provide expert quotes about life with your cat, cat holidays, adopting cats, naming cats and more. I’m experienced at television, radio and online chat interviews and have appeared on over 50 live programs.
