Thousands Flock To FF Site

Since the beginning of this year our website www.firstfeatures.co.uk has welcomed almost 18,000 visitors from across the world, all hoping to get their stories published.

That means an average of 50 internet users each day come to us for advice about getting national coverage of their real life stories.

And they’re not just from the UK, either. Since January, we’ve had hits from around the globe, including the USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Australia, India, Spain, Ireland, Brazil, Latvia and Sweden.

Although most of our work appears in British titles, we are able to help people sell their stories to publications in many of these countries as well. In the past couple of months alone, Brazilian Cosmopolitan and Australian Woman’s Day, have bought stories from our clients.

We’re happy to boast a site that’s not only informative but user-friendly, and one which tells you about us, as well as asking about you.

First Features is committed to keeping its clients up to date with its recent work, news and past customers’ opinions about the service it provides by contstantly updating the website.

So if you’re interested in selling your story, or just want to know what all the fuss is about,  pay us a visit at www.firstfeatures.co.uk

First Features’ Clients Go Global

Two of our fabulous clients, mum and daughter pair Tracey Pollard and Zara Hartshorn share their story for the fourth time in this month’s Sugar magazine.

Tracey and Zara came to us in August for help raising awareness of the shocking condition, lipodystrophy. They’ve both suffered since birth from the disease, which makes them look far older than they are. And they wanted to speak out about the effect it has on their lives.

Since working with First Features, the pair have appeared in Reveal, Woman’s Own and Sugar, and have even gone global, telling their story to Australian magazine, Woman’s Day!

“I can’t believe how much exposure we have had just from one phone call to First Features,” says Tracey. “We wanted to raise awareness and being in four national magazines has really helped. It’s been an amazing experience as well.”

First Features is now in talks with film production companies about making a TV documentary about Tracey and Zara.

“All the publicity has changed my life,” says Zara. “People at school understand why I look the way I do now and it’s much easier to talk about. I loved having the photo shoots, too!”

It’s been a big year for Tracey and Zara and we look forward to continuing our work with them in the future.
