10 Tips You Can Use To Write A Press Release
1. Make sure the information is newsworthy.
2. Tell the audience that the information is intended for them and why they should continue to read it.
3. Start with a brief description of the news, then distinguish who announced it, and not the other way around.
4. Ask yourself, "How are people going to relate to this and will they be able to connect?"
5. Make sure the first 10 words of your release are effective, as they are the most important.
6. Avoid excessive use of adjectives and fancy language.
7. Deal with the facts.
8. Provide as much Contact information as possible: Individual to Contact, address, phone, fax, email, Web site address.
9. Make sure you wait until you have something with enough substance to issue a release.

You are so awesome! Good luck with the press release!! It is one of those things that has been on my list for far too long....
First up, look for major changes in the dynamic at The Pie Hole as Olive--bursting at the seams from knowing the truth about Chuck's parentage is placed in a convent by said Lily, where she encounters not only a truffle-sniffing pig named Pigby but also a wonderful Sound of Music parody.
