Could your life story become a published book?



The BBC is searching for remarkable true life stories that could become best selling books.



Tell us your story and it might be as successful as Calendar Girls or Erin Brockovich



MY STORY…



We’re looking for extra-ordinary true life stories from all over Britain. They might be dramatic, heartwarming, funny or sad - as long as they’re true, we want to read them.



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.



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.

This thread will be closed after the the deadline.



All entries must be received no later than midnight on 16th December 2009.
