Press on doorstep

One moment you’re leading your everyday life as normal. The next, you’ve woken up to find press camped outside, all trying to convince you to sell your story. You basically need a press agent, and that is where we come in.

If you’re in the situation, email us on message@talktothepress.com

Over the years, we have met many people who have unexpectedly, and often though the most tragic of circumstances, woken up one morning to find themselves in this sort of situation. And in the midst of such a crisis, it’s almost impossible to know how to deal with the constant knocks on the door, the endless ringing of the telephone and the confusing talk of contracts, money, and exclusive interviews.

Here’s some free advice. If you do not want to sell your story, the best thing to do is turn your phone off, go away for a couple of days, and say politely to any journalist who does manage to get hold of you that you simply do not wish to comment. Although it seems hard to believe at the time, the attention will quickly die away if you refuse to cooperate.

However, if you do want to talk to the press, perhaps to set the record straight, it’s likely you’ll need professional guidance. We can negotiate with the media on your behalf, help you understand your contracts, organize your interviews and ensure you get paid the best possible rates for selling your story. We act as your media agent and publicist, guiding you through the entire process of selling a story to the press.

Even if you’ve already been approached by magazines or newspapers to sell your story, it’s not too late for us to step in and give you independent advice. It’s not worth signing the first contract that is thrust into your hands as you’re unlikely to get the best deal. We can represent you and help you decide the best way to sell your story. Get in touch by emailing message@talktothepress.com or filling out the sell my story form to your right.
