Here’s a heart-warmer for Valentine’s Day, courtesy of SellThatStory. It’s in today’s Sunday People, in their Take It Easy magazine.
Joseph Gadion, 92, was the “Casanova” of the day centre for the elderly in Manchester. It was Edith Black, 84, who caught his eye.
He’d been married before, for 59 years, and she for 50, but they were both happy to prove age was no barrier for their love.

Seems the snow doesn’t slow down newspapers and magazines when it comes to looking for people to interview and stories to cover.
* A Sunday supplement is searching for a young woman who is now caring for her siblings after her parents have died or are otherwise unable to look after them. She must have been granted custody of her siblings and allow them to be named and pictured. Ideally aged 18-25.
* A weekly woman’s magazine is working on a feature about obesity and how the problem is spreading into funerals. Bigger coffins / larger burial plots etc. They want to hear from anybody who has buried an overweight relative whose size affected their funeral. They would also like to speak to anyone who is severely overweight and worried about the problems their size could cause to a funeral and the affect this could have on their family.
* And finally, as Valentine’s Day approaches, do you have a heart-warming romantic proposal to tell us about ? If so, let us know!

It may sound like a Robbie Williams song, but if you’re a woman who believes in angels, and have a convincing story, then a Sunday supplement magazine want to hear from you.
Do you know anyone whose child or children have been snatched by her husband and taken abroad. The same magazine would like to hear this story.
And ladies, if you’re in your 40s and lucky enough to be dating a chap in his late teens or early 20s then let us know, as there’s a weekly magazine who would desperately like to carry your story.
If the question’s “How do I sell my story?” then the answer’s just a click away.

Seems love is in the air, as lots of newspapers and magazines are looking for stories about relationships this week.
A Sunday tabloid supplement wants to know if you’re a woman in her twenties who finally got over her first love. A lot of people take a long time to do this, but they’re looking for someone who managed to get past that first romantic hurdle and is now happy with their partner.
On a saucier note, a weekly women’s magazine is looking for couples under 40 who have done ‘unusual’ things to spice up their love life. Need we say more … ?
And finally, a Sunday newspaper is looking to interview a polygamous family for a real-life feature to tie in with the law change.
If you think you might fit the bill or know someone who does, call Angela or John on 0161 660 9404 or email info@sellthatstory.com
