2. If you’re happy with the offer and would like to proceed, we’ll have a quick interview over the phone (or in person if you prefer) to get the details of your story. We’ll write up your story and then read it back to you at your request before it appears in the press, so you have full control.
3. Once the story has been published and you have been paid, we can then sell your story again, guaranteeing you even more cash. If you decide to, we can then put your story onto the ‘newswire’ so that all magazines and newspapers can use it, and you’ll be paid for the column inches that it takes up.
