In addition to E-mail News Release Management and our other services, Xpress Press offers the option of having your news release or story drafted by a professional writer.

Remember, part of managing a professional off-line or Interactive Public Relations Campaign is to supply media with a unique story that caters to their reader or viewer audience.

Each writing assignment is handled by a professional who is capable of drafting a news release, business success story or feature story that meets the needs of our clients as well as providing a high-interest news item to the media. The advantage of using our professional writers is that you have a better chance of generating the media coverage you want. More information about having a press release written is below. To obtain an estimate for editing a news release please send a copy of your story plus your contact information to editorial@xpresspress.com and we will reply with an estimate. Editing rates start at $75. To speak to an individual editor, please phone in the U.S. 954-989-3338 or 954-989-3376 (Eastern Time Zone).

Service Advantages

• Experience. Years of involvement with media both on-line and off-line means our writers can highlight the most newsworthy aspects of your business based on current business and news trends. We deliver the kind of news stories journalists and broadcasters are most interested in reporting based on their subscription requests.
  


• Personal Service. Each story is assigned to an individual writer who sends you a customized in-depth interview questionnaire by email before beginning your story. Your reply to the interview helps the writer determine your exact publicity goals. Supplemental information may be provided via a website, fax or conventional mail.
  


• Professional. Every release written and distributed by Xpress Press follows Associated Press news style guidelines for structure and content.
  

  We maintain personal relationships with many editors and the high-quality standards which we apply to our work and the product delivered are reflected in the level of media to whom we have access.
  

• Save Time. If you are a public relations professional or business owner managing a variety of tasks, you may not have the time to supervise the writing of a news release. We will conduct a brief interview with key players or partners then draft a release culled from any supplied print or web based information and what we feel is a unique angle to capture the attention of the media.
  

  Payment is required in advance at which point our writer will send over your customized interview. Once, this is returned to our editorial department, the writer assigned to your story will review the interview plus any additional information you have provided. Your story will be written and sent to you for approval and suggested revisions. Typically, our clients make minimal changes and there is no charge for these edits.
  

  Most client press releases run between 400-600 words. Final copy is supplied as plain text either in a word document or via e-mail. It is helpful if our editorial department knows in advance the methodology you will use to distribute the release to the media as different formats are used depending on if the press release will travel via email, wire or conventional mail. We will prompt you for this information in your interview.
  

  Major credit cards are accepted or payment by check in advance of starting the assignment.
