What is TopFeatures?
TopFeatures is a syndication agency that sells health-and-wellbeing content to newspapers, magazines and websites worldwide.
What writers do you represent?
We represent over 70 of the UK's leading health journalists. They are firmly established writers who work for major national newspapers, magazines and medical journals.
What kind of material do you syndicate?
We syndicate health features and columns. Features range in length from 300 to 3000 words and cover a broad range of topics, including women's interest, men's health, real-life stories, nutrition and alternative health. Columns include Ask-The-Doctor pages, dietary Q&As, sexual-health advice and medical-condition summaries.
How does TopFeatures work?
Our material is available to view online. Once registered, editors have access to an eclectic range of material and can search by topic, health category or writer. Editors can read an abstract of an article they are interested in and request the complete article to be emailed to them on approval only. We may call you after 24 hours to check what you want to do with it, as there may be other interested parties.
How often are new features added to the site and how do I hear about them?
We add new features every week. Editors can register for our weekly email alerts, which contain a listing of all new features added to the site..
What happens if I want to publish an article?
If you wish to publish an article sent to you on approval, simply email or phone our sales team. We will then negotiate a fee for reproduction of the article and issue you with a licence to publish it.
Do I get exclusivity over the article?
Yes. We give editors exclusivity over each article for a certain time period and for a specific territory.
What if I can't find what I'm looking for?
If you can't find a feature you want, contact our sales team. We may still have something suitable that has not yet been added to the site. All our writers accept bespoke commissions, so we'll write the piece especially for you if you wish. TopFeatures is a division of
The Jourdan Agency, the UK's leading bespoke health-features agency, so we represent the best health writers and medical experts in the business.
