This is usually one of the first questions we're asked and with good reason! Of course you want to know what you could earn from your story. Until we pitch your story to the magazines we can't tell you for certain. What we can do is give you a guide price. We know the industry and we know what will be popular.

We work with all major publications, both in the UK and worldwide

Short, unusual, funny and lighthearted stories usually sell from anywhere between £100-£500. At the other end of the scale, a story about a relationship or a crime story could go for anything up to £1000. And that's per publication - we aim to get your story into many magazines and newspapers both here and across the world. As you get paid every time we sell your story, the fees you can earn from your story could sky rocket.

Phoenix Features is trusted and respected across the publishing world. Started in 2007, we've worked with the biggest and best magazines and newspapers across the globe.

Don't forget about TV appearances too! Morning chat shows like This Morning also love real life stories and might invite you onto the sofa for a chat, adding to your potential earnings. Once we have spoken to our editors about your story, we'll be able to give you a firm offer (usually numerous offers!) in writing, for your consideration. Each publication pays the agreed fee as soon as they publish your story.
