How it works

From your phone to the papers

You tell us what happened. We craft your story, take it to the newsdesks and do the chasing. If your story is published, you are paid.

The short version

  1. Tell us what happened

    Type it out, or tap record and say it in your own words. Most people take about two minutes. There is nothing to print, post or sign.

    You can stop halfway and come back. We keep what you have written so far.

  2. We take it to the newsdesks

    Our team writes your story up properly and puts it in front of the reporters we already have relationships with, who cover stories like yours.

    We get in touch first to hear a bit more and get your quotes. If a journalist needs anything else, we come back to you.

  3. You get paid £100

    If your story is published, we pay £100 straight to your bank account within 24 hours. You also receive links to the stories you are featured in.

    If your story does not get published there is no fee, and nothing for you to pay, ever.

After you press send

What happens, and when

  1. Straight away

    You get a reference and a private tracking link

    It shows where your story has got to, and you can add photos from it too.

  2. Within one working day

    A real person reads it

    Every story gets an answer, including when the answer is no.

  3. Usually the same week

    A short conversation

    If a newsdesk is likely to want it, we get in touch the way you asked: WhatsApp, a call or email. We ask the questions a journalist would, so the story is told properly and in your words. It usually takes ten to twenty minutes.

  4. We craft your story

    We turn what you told us into a news story, with your own words as the quotes.

  5. Days, sometimes a few weeks

    We take it to the newsdesks

    From the nationals to the paper where you live. News moves fast, so some stories run within days and some take longer to find the right home.

  6. Within 24 hours of it running

    It is published, and you are paid £100

    We send you the link and pay you by bank transfer. How payment works.

What we ask of you

Four simple things

  • You are 18 or over
  • It is your own story to tell, and it is true
  • You have the right to share any photos you send us
  • You answer when we get in touch, the way you chose
What we never do

And four we promise

  • We never ask you for money, for anything
  • We never invent quotes or change what happened
  • We never give your phone number or email to a journalist without asking you. Meta gets a scrambled copy for our adverts
  • We never pretend to be a newspaper or a journalist
