Sell story to newspaper/ magazine with sell-story.co.uk

Often a story can be published in both newspapers and magazines.

But in some contracts you will find that they ask you to sign over the 'rights' of the story to them.

This means newspapers and magazines can then syndicate your story to other publications and that you will not get paid for it appearing elsewhere.

Alternatively, fill in the form below and we'll automatically send it to all
four websites, all for no charge.

Title:		Brief description of your story:
Name:*
Address:
Town/City:
County:
Postcode:
Telephone:*
Email address:*

Fields marked with a * are compulsory.

Make sure you are happy to sell your real life story.

Use a press agency rather than going direct to a publication - you will invariably end up with more money.

Ensure you get a contract outlining the exact fee for your real life story with a named publication.

Having photographs or film footage to back up your story will make it worth more money.

Don't be rushed into selling stories but do be aware that stories can drop in price as interest wanes.

Ensure that the publication using your story does not plan to syndicate it to other newspapers or magazines.

NEVER sign any contracts that offer you a fee with the terms 'up to' or 'a minimum of' written beside them.

If you have a 'big exclusive' or want newspaper, magazine, television and radio coverage use a publicity agent/ publicist.

You will get more money for your story if you agree to be named and photographed.

Can you prove your story is true?
