Editor

June Smith-Sheppard was appointed editor of Pick Me Up for its launch in 2005. The Guardian referred to her as an "uncompromisingly ordinary launch editor, [that] offers a tantalising glimpse of the tongue-in-cheek items she hopes will define the new women's weekly.[3]

Columnists
  • Jeremy Kyle: Jeremy wrote an agony uncle column for Pick Me Up, until September 2010, in the style of the talk show he presents, The Jeremy Kyle Show. He offers straight-talking advice to readers that need it.
  • Claire Petulengro: Claire offers a complete weekly horoscope in every issue and makes daily updates on the Pick Me Up website.[4]
  • Dr Nicola Davies: Nicola is the investigative psychologist for the 'Making of a monster' column. This studies the psychological influences causing specific people to become notorious killers.[5]

• GP Doctor Gary Bartlett is a regular contributor to writing the Instant Appointment column.

Reception

Pick Me Up! Magazine is cited as one of the magazines targeted by the campaign group "Curb The Chat Mags".[6]

gollark: The backend would at least be simple - just a key-value store with some authentication.
gollark: I suggested that ages ago and even put together a format and was ignored.
gollark: I'll probably make a PR when I get back from this holiday, actually.
gollark: <@184468521042968577> Shatter suggestion: a function for displaying a terminal state snapshot in some format on a supplied canvas.
gollark: Again: what terminal streaming implementations are there?
