The 5 Simple Steps to Selling Your Story

Selling your story is simple and once you have made initial contact with the team at Phoenix Features we will follow a few steps that will get you on your way to selling your story to a news paper and/or magazine and get you paid up to £2000 for doing so.We will tell you if we think newspapers and magazines will be interested in your story and whether or not it is worth pursuing the sale of your real life story.

The First Step to Selling your Story – Get in Touch!

What are you waiting for? If you think you might have a story worthy of featuring in newspapers or magazines then give us a call and ask Phoenix Features to ‘sell my story’. We will conduct an informal chat to establish whether or not we believe that publications will consider running your story. On this call we will also answer any questions and clear up any confusion you might have before you decide to go ahead. We will arrange a proper interview where we will gather all the necessary details in order to organise your story the way you want it and in a way that will be appealing to editors.

Organising the Images for your Story

Any photos that can be included with your story will increase the chances of success when you come to selling your story as magazines and newspapers will find these more appealing and often this can increase the fee in which they are willing to pay. Phoenix Features can help with this. With the help of our in-house award winning photographer and operator of the picture desk Gareth, together we can either collect existing images relevant to your story or we can arrange a photo shoot. Gareth is able to answer any of your picture related questions.

Pitching your Story to Potential Buyers

Once we have gathered all the necessary information and images that will compliment your story we will then pitch this to the media. This is when we start selling your story in earnest and we will liaise with multiple editors in the interest of getting the best monetary offers for your story. I wouldn’t want to sell my story for any less than it is worth and we’ll make sure you don’t either.

The Final Read Back

We look after each and every one of our customers with the greatest care, the same applies for the stories we write. We want to ensure that the finished piece is to your liking which is why, before we send the finished feature to the publication willing to buy your story we will read this back to you, giving you the opportunity to make any last-minute changes.

We Ensure Fair Payment for Selling your Story

We are committed to getting our customers the payment they deserve promptly. When selling your story with Phoenix Features you can be confident that we will make this happen. Our service does not affect the money you are paid as our fee comes directly from the publications that will run your story.
