Press Release - 400 words
35
I will write an AP-style press release, up to 400 words, and send it to at least 5 relevant media outlets. If you think something news worthy has happened to your business or community, you can contract me to write a statement and work with you to issue it to relevant media.
These are short pieces but require expertise in news writing and story crafting. Press releases must be written in Associated Press Style, and every detail must be meticulously prioritized. For a press release to be taken seriously, it has to engage readers, create drama, draw empathy, feel relevant to them, break their hearts and leave them wanting more.
With a background in news writing, I understand the discipline of hooking impatient readers and conveying information in a way that not only markets the product, but more importantly, fills the space without sounding like complete bullshit.
