Who Can Write Killer Press Releases?

Is there a writer you'd recommend who can craft press releases so well that they have a good chance of actually being published in newspapers?

But they're not quoted in their entirety in print media.
      That's it. I'd want it to be enticing enough that it would lead them to do a real write-up on it. After all, they want interesting stories, full of intrigue, star-power, enticing, hip, and whatever other annoying adjective to that effect.

    Kate is your go to gal for this.

    I used her for one recently, and it was picked up by two news stations, and a newspaper, ALL FOR FEATURES.

    She crafts it perfectly so that they wanna pick up the phone to call you, so that you get the feature story, and extra attention that you are writing a press release for. And if you have any questions or concerns she is great. I had never dealt with media attention before and she helped me know what to say, ways to direct the conversation etc. A+ and beyond in my books for sure.

    Her WF username is K F

    P.S
    Plus she's a fellow Canadian, and she actually resides close to you, over in Victoria.

      Very impressive results. Holy cajole! Thanks for the heads-up.
