I have a draft press release that is nearly there but still needs the sharp edge of a seasoned communicator. I’m looking for someone who can refine the language, tighten the structure, and make every sentence media-ready without losing the core message or my brand’s voice. The current version is about 450 words. I need it checked for clarity, flow, AP-style consistency, and punchier headline and sub-headline options. If you spot any gaps—missing quotes, data points, or calls to action—flag them and suggest improvements. I’m aiming for a version that an editor could drop straight into print or an online wire with no further tweaks. Please return: • A clean, final press-ready document • A tracked-changes file showing all edits • A short rationale (2–3 lines) for any substantial rewrites Two quick revision rounds after initial delivery will wrap this up.

Hi My approach would be to retain your original message and brand voice while strengthening the areas that make a press release effective: clarity, structure, pace, credibility and a strong newsworthy angle. Rather than simply proofreading the existing draft, I’ll edit it from a communications and copywriting perspective so every sentence earns its place. For your 450-word draft, I will: * Refine and tighten the language for clarity, flow and impact * Review the overall structure and strengthen the opening/news angle * Check grammar, punctuation and AP-style consistency * Create stronger headline and sub-headline options * Remove unnecessary repetition and improve readability * Preserve your existing brand voice throughout * Identify any missing information, including supporting statistics, quotes, context or calls to action * Ensure the final release reads naturally for journalists, editors and online publication My goal is simple: to give you a concise, credible and compelling press release that communicates the story quickly and clearly, while requiring as little additional editing as possible before submission to media outlets or distribution services. I can begin as soon as the draft is provided. Best regards, Annabelle
