The simple answer is that you will make more money by selling your story through us. If you approach a magazine or newspaper they are more interested in what they can do for them.
We are interested in what we can do for you. Newspapers and magazines want your story to themselves, known in the trade as 'an exclusive.' But we will develop a media strategy for you involving selling your story to several publications, maximising the amount of cash you can earn.
This may well be the first time you have ever contacted the media and obviously you will not be aware of how much you can sell your story for. But we know how much stories can be sold for.
We sell stories on a daily basis to national newspapers and magazines and know how much your story is worth. Usually we can give you an instant decision on whether we can sell your story and will indicate how much it is worth.
You will get the highest possible fee from us because we test the market for you across a range of publications. If you approach a publication direct, you will end up with the fee they want to pay you, not necessarily the highest fee available for your story.
We will then take over all the hard work for you, contacting the publication best suited for your particular story and then - the important bit - negotiating the fee for you.
