Angela has just ghost-written her first book, The Art of the Loophole: Making the Law Work for You by celebrity lawyer, Nick Freeman.
This is a riveting read about the working methods and successes of Britain`s highest profile lawyer . It will be published by Hodder & Stoughton on April 26th.
A glossy magazine sent us this: “We are urgently looking for two women to talk about cheating. We want the first woman to let her boyfriend cheat because she is so busy with her career and does not have time to fulfil his needs. And we want a second career woman who would never allow her boyfriend to cheat under any circumstances. Must be happy to be pictured. And aged 20 – 35.”
Fertility stories are always of interest to newspapers and magazines. The advances in medicine have produced some amazing and heart-warming tales of women who thought they’d never be able to have children.
We’ve just heard from a national magazine who are looking for a case study of a woman in her thirties who has frozen her eggs to preserve her fertility.

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!
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
THE controversial ID card is being scrapped.
Angela was the first member of the public to buy one, for £30, when they were launched last year.
Now her piece of plastic will be worthless.
Listen to her with Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 (slide along to 7 min 30 secs) as she explains why she bought one – and why she’s so angry they’re being ditched.
Here’s a story from SellThatStory that can’t fail to provoke a reaction. David Tolley dashed across a motorway to rescue a driver who’d crashed, and to move her car so there wouldn’t be a pile-up.
He was struck by two vehicles, thrown 35ft along the carriageway and left in wheelchair, virtually paralysed below the chest.
Insurance companies tried to claw back up to a third of his compensation settlement, claiming he was partly to blame.
It’s the first known case of insurers challenging a “rescuer” over liability. The judge ruled in favour of David. He was represented in his legal battle by Ed Fletcher who himself suffered a spinal cord injury in a motorbike accident.
David’s story appeared in the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Telegraph and Daily Mirror.
