Top women's magazines are looking for great real life stories.

Do you have a story to sell to a magazine? A good way of deciding is to test your friend's reactions. If their jaw drops, if they cry, or laugh, then chances are you've got something amazing to tell!

Below are a few more examples of good real life stories...
