There are many people out there purporting to be freelance journalists. Be careful who you pick. Choose reputable journalists and agencies with proven track record. Remember anyone can pick up a pen and a pad and say they're a journalist. Would you buy a second hand car from a man or woman who just turned up at your door? Or would you feel happier going to a dealership with customer recommendations?

If an offers sounds too good to be true then it usually is. People who offer you genuine advice and realistic fees are usually being genuine and realistic.

People may feel that they will get more if they deal directly with the magazines. This is not necessarily the case. At Caters we deal with the magazines and national newspapers day in, day out, our team deals with a large volume of stories and we know all the tricks of the trade that can command the best deals out there. Also, for every magazine that contacts you because they've heard about your story, there will be dozens that haven't! Which is where we step in, creating more interest and competition between them.

Because of our close daily working relationship with the papers and magazines, they all know who we are.. in fact, many of people we deal with have even worked for us. We also know who to target and who is best placed to handle your story.

Give us a call on 0845 660 5454 or send us an email using our contact form. Either way, we'll call you straight back at no cost to you. We will give you our honest opinion of your story and how best to proceed. If you don't like what we say or are still unsure then we'll respect your decision and we'll go our separate ways. It will take only a few minutes. Literally, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
