How do SellUsYourStory.com sell my story to a newspaper?
There are two main ways of selling your story.
For a regular news story, we would typically write up the article and place it on our national news wire. This means that every national publication in the UK and major foreign magazines and newspapers would have the option to print the story. We would then track who uses the article, and collect the income from the story for you. In this instance we would split the proceeds of the story.
If your story is particularly sensational, we would auction it to the highest bidding newspaper or magazine as an exclusive. This would involve publications bidding for the rights to tell your story first. You’d keep 100% of the fee (we are paid directly by the publication in this instance for writing the story in their strict style). Once the story has been published we’d be able to sell in to other publications for you.
In both instances you are guaranteed the maximum payment possible because every publication has the opportunity to either print or bid for your story. We manage 100s of stories every day, so you can be sure your story is in the right hands. We are the largest and most respected independent press agency in the UK.
