How to Write a Press Release – LIVE

After the warm reception of our free guide ‘How to Write a Press Release’ we thought:”right that’s it, we’re taking it on tour.”

(Well, ‘tour’ might be a mild bit of spin but we are getting out of the office and entering the beautiful surroundings of Rabley barn, which we did a reckie on yesterday.)

Both Agent Pete and I have done our fair share of conferences, seminars, workshops and talks. I’m a bit of an addict if I’m honest. But one thing that really frustrates us is that they are so didactic! As a former teacher (a long time ago when I was a fresh young twenty-something) this feels so, ahem, old school. We learn best when we are shown how to do something, then – do it ourselves. And our masterclass is all about the practical.
