Could your life story become a published book?

The BBC is searching for remarkable true life stories from all over the UK that could become best selling books.  They might be dramatic, heartwarming, funny or sad - as long as they’re true,

Fifteen stories will feature in a major new BBC One TV series called MY STORY. Five people will win the chance to have their stories turned into a book and receive a cash advance of £20,000. 

MY STORY is not a writing competition, so you don’t have to be good at writing to take part. Each of the five stories selected to be published will be ghost-written for you. And if your story is chosen, your name would appear on the cover of your own book.

To find out more visit the MY STORY website at bbc.co.uk/mystory, or email lauren.benson@princesstv.com

Or you can write to the BBC at My Story, c/o PO Box 65655, London W12 2BG. The closing date for entrants in 16th December. 

To enter people just need to submit a summary of their story (in no more than 1500 words) on the BBC website www.bbc.co.uk/mystory. The judging criteria can also be found on the website.
