Mistresses, pets and quirky relationships

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Every day we’re inundated with requests from newspapers and magazines, which can earn high cash rewards.  They can also give you the satisfaction of seeing your story in print.

It’s one thing thinking “Can I sell my story?” It’s quite another actually getting it done. And that’s where we are here to help.  You can email us at info@sellthatstory.com

At the moment we have newspapers and magazines offering high prices for:

* A mistress who can talk about her affair with a married man. Perhaps the relationship ended badly, or he wasn’t the man you thought he was, or perhaps he had a high profile – always popular with magazines – and wouldn’t take the risk.  Mistresses are always seen as the “other woman” but you can tell your side of the story and earn money for your time, as well as getting satisfaction that you can put out your version of the truth.

* Did you meet your partner under unusual, funny, quirky or positively strange circumstances? Then let us know.  Don’t just wonder “Could I sell my story?” Let us do it for you.

* Do you have daft stories about your pets? The papers love them, and they are a fun way to make money.

* Amid the doom and gloom of the recession, the papers are all keen to hear happy, funny heart-warming tales. So if you have one and are thinking “Could I sell my story?” then get in touch and we’ll do it for you!

Inundated with requests from newspapers and magazines

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

As always, we’re being inundated with requests from newspapers and magazines, looking for people with stories to tell. So if you’ve ever thought: “Maybe I should sell my story” check out this list:

 * A national magazine wants to know why people find it so hard to let go of electrical items. They chuck out other clutter but simply can’t part with old mobile phones or digital cameras.

 * A weekly women’s magazine wants to speak to a woman who has had an abortion after IVF. It follows recent news that 80 women a year abort a baby conceived through IVF.

 * Another weekly magazine is looking for real-life case studies of sibling rivalry:  Stories of major disputes between brothers and sisters, of siblings at war, fallings out, rivalry over loves, competitiveness and more.

 * A women’s magazine is looking for a man who lost loads of weight, underwent  plastic surgery or had a gastric band for a big white wedding – while his bride was none too bothered.

* The BBC wants to talk to a young shopping addict (no older than 25) who would be interested in talking to them about their problem.

 * Another TV company is seeking young couples, preferably aged 16-17 who plan to wed soon.

 If you have a story to tell – and a story to sell – that fits any of these criteria, contact us at info@sellthatstory.com
