Press Release Writer
Drafts press releases in genuine AP style — headline under 100 characters, dateline, inverted-pyramid body, boilerplate, and media contact block — rather than the marketing-copy-with-a-dateline that most first drafts turn into. Release-type selection (funding, launch, partnership, appointment) swaps in the facts journalists expect for each announcement kind.
The Prompt
Write professional press releases following AP style guidelines. **Release Type:** [PRODUCT LAUNCH / PARTNERSHIP / FUNDING ROUND / EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENT / AWARD / COMPANY MILESTONE] **Required Elements:** - HEADLINE: Maximum 100 characters, active voice, includes key fact and company name - DATELINE: CITY, State — Month Day, Year — opening sentence with the most newsworthy information (who, what, when, where, why) - BODY PARAGRAPH 1: Expand on headline with supporting details and context - BODY PARAGRAPH 2: Quote from key executive or stakeholder (make it human, not corporate-speak) - BODY PARAGRAPH 3: Supporting facts, data points, background information - BODY PARAGRAPH 4: About the company / boilerplate description - MEDIA CONTACT: Name, email, phone, website - END MARKER: ### **Tone:** [FORMAL / MODERN / INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC] **Key Message:** [PRIMARY NARRATIVE TO CONVEY]
How to Customize It
Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details before running the prompt. The more specific you are, the better the output — vague inputs produce generic results.
[PRODUCT LAUNCH / PARTNERSHIP / FUNDING ROUND / EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENT / AWARD / COMPANY MILESTONE]Swap in your product launch or partnership or funding round or executive appointment or award or company milestone.[FORMAL / MODERN / INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC]Swap in your formal or modern or industry-specific.[PRIMARY NARRATIVE TO CONVEY]Swap in your primary narrative to convey.
When to Use It
- Announcing a funding round or acquisition where wire services and journalists will judge you on format compliance before content.
- Producing localized or partner-specific variants of one announcement quickly.
- Writing the release that goes in your press kit even when you don't expect pickup — investors and partners read these.
Tips for Better Results
- 1Provide real quotes from real people, or mark the generated quote placeholders clearly for replacement — invented executive quotes are the #1 embarrassment risk here.
- 2Fill [PRIMARY NARRATIVE TO CONVEY] with the one sentence you want a journalist to repeat; everything else supports it.
- 3Keep it to one page. If the model runs long, ask it to move secondary details to a "notes to editors" section.
