'I would like to thank all at Talk To The Press for recently selling my story. It was a great experience from start to finish, I found both Boo and Natasha to be very kind and compassionate and most importantly the story I sold was a true and accurate account of what happened to me. I can't thank you enough, who ever would have thought I would make the front page of the Daily Mail!'

'My lack of justice over my father's 'happy slapping' murder'

Here at Talk to the Press, we're always keen to help ordinary people caught up in the media spotlight. We did just that  when Arfan Haque got in touch with us asking for help managing press attention in his life. He made national headlines after his father was 'happy slapped' and killed in front of his 4 year old daughter.

We secured him a double deal with the News of the World and the Mail on Sunday, and he also appeared on This Morning.

Our clients feature in newspapers, magazines and on television every week. Click to see more of the recent stories we've sold to newspapers and magazines on behalf of our clients. More.....

Press agency Talk to the Press was founded by Natasha Courtenay-Smith (above right), a former national newspaper journalist with over a decade's experience. Natasha has a large network of contacts across newspapers, women's magazines and television programmes.

Natasha understands that selling a story to the national press can meet a deep-seated need, yet at the same time, it can also be a nerve-racking experience. We know that for many, selling a story to a newspaper or magazine is a once in a life time opportunity and not a decision that has been taken lightly.
