First Press Release - Looking for Some Critique

by Scott Henderson Posted: 13 years ago 5 replies

I can write pretty good articles for Article Marketing but I'm finding Press Releases to be a whole different game.

Below is a copy of my first Press Release, sure would like to get some good feedback on how I can improve my PR writing skills.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Its damn good. You understand how to write a press release. All I'd do is edit passive sentences, substitute simple for complex sentences. (There's not too much of either)

Example:

"Also available is a free newsletter that is published weekly, sign up is available on the website, (domain name)"

becomes...
"A free newsletter is published weekly. Sign up is available at domain name."

  Well that is very encouraging, thanks Bruce for your input. I've been picking this thing apart and debating back and forth on the matter of "is it a PR or is it an article" I will certainly use your advice.
