How much will I be paid for selling my story?
There are many
reasons why you might decide to sell a story. But how much money you
will earn from selling
your story to a newspaper, magazine or television is not an exact
science. Even editors disagree on whether something is a ‘good story’ or
not and how much money to pay … How much money you earn for selling
your story depends on the following: Generally speaking, you can get
up to £2K for a story, but it could be more, or less, this depends on
other stories that come at the same time as yours, but I can guarantee one
thing for you, the journalist will get the BEST price possible for your
story.
