This isn't just a story - it's your life!
First Features was started by Katy Weitz in May 2005 to get the best deal for those with amazing real-life stories to tell.
Over ten years, Katy worked for a variety of national newspapers - including The Sun, The Mirror, The Sunday Mirror, The People and The Express - and for a number of magazines. In her time on Fleet Street, she came to recognise that frequently, those with a good story failed to get the best deal.
Handling interest from national publications is not the easiest thing. In a fiercely competitive market, many people without press know-how find their experience leaves them feeling used or misrepresented.
We are interested in helping you and listening to what you have to say so that your story is told in the right way. We want it to be printed in the right place - and we want you to be paid what it is worth.
By representing your interest, we take away the hard and intimidating work of dealing with editors - so all you have to do is tell your story.
And because we are not connected to any one publication, we can shop around for the right deal.
We believe everyone has a remarkable tale to tell - it's a question of getting the right person to listen.
Find out how it works from beginning to end as Katy explains the whole process of selling your story.

Dear First Features,
Will I have to sign anything?
"Katy - I must say a big thank you! It's so refreshing to be treated as a person, not just a number on the end of a phone or email."
