The obvious place for selling your “life” story would be a magazine. Unlike newspapers the weekly magazines do not need to have particularly current items to write about. If you look through a few magazines you will see that many of the stories don’t have any indication of when they actually occurred. Plus the benefit of hindsight can lend an extra dimension to the tale. The readers like to see that you have moved on – for better of for worse.
Almost all magazines will have a “contact us” section in them, so have a browse in WHSmiths and jot down a few of the phone numbers. When you flick through them you will also get ideas for what a sellable story actually looks like.
