How do I know if
I have a story?
Most of us have interesting stories to tell - and there are loads of good reasons for sharing yours.
Love and betrayal
Have you been involved in a love triangle? Were you dumped for your best friend? Have you got revenge on your partner in an interesting way? Is yours an unusual romance or have you rekindled the flame of passion with your childhood sweetheart? Your tale of love/ betrayal could help others understand what is happening to them or give someone an idea of how to deal with a heartbreaking situation.
Triumph over tragedy
Whether you've survived a terrible illness, come through a difficult relationship or helped a loved one to overcome some big hurdle in their life - your story could be an inspiration to others dealing with similar problems.
The weird and the wonderful
Did you hear the one about the woman who owned a 100-year-old Easter Egg? Or the little boy who ONLY eats chocolate? We are all interested in strange and amazing tales - they can be funny or serious, as long as they are out of the ordinary!
Trauma
Have you suffered a botched operation? Or been the victim of an horrific crime? Have you experienced tragedy this last year? Your experience may give you a unique insight on life and sharing your story could be a valuable tool in overcoming your pain and helping others at the same time.

Dear First Features,
How do I ensure I'm happy with what goes in the paper or magazine?
