Brutal Noise offers press release writing services by our highly skilled team members, who are all active members of professional PR and writing trade industry groups, as well as published authors and contributing editors at national publications.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

After checkout, you fill out a simple information form with various questions related to what you want to announce as news. We assign one of our writers based on content, then we call you for a brief (no more then 10 minutes) interview. From this a first draft is composed and sent by email. Changes/corrections and additions can be made (all changes must be provided in writing), then a second draft is provided. Any additional corrections are made and then the final is provided. Release can be up to 600 words, or will match the length of the news distibution plan ordered at same time (if applicable). Allow 2-3 working days (typical) for project completion, depending on your own availability for approvals.

Once the final is done, you may specify date/time for release to go out. We provide you with both a MS Word and plain text (.txt) final version of your release for your own use. A PDF is also available if you order a news distribution plan at same time as a writing plan.

TO ORDER THIS SERVICE

To order the writing service (#WRI-1) without a news distribution plan, simply send us an email.

If you want your news release distributed to the media, you should first choose a news distribution plan (i.e., #PRN-1), then choose the discounted writing option (#WRI-2) which saves you $50.

After checkout, choose the "distribution with writing" information/project form, or the "writing only" form, depending on whether you've ordered a news distribution service plan. The information form is required for all Brutal Noise services.

Brutal Noise Press Release Editing/Revision
Item #WRI-3 — $79 per release.
If you've written your own press release but feel it might need one more polish — and/or if it's far longer than needed (or longer than the length limit of the news plan you've chosen) — one of our professional staff writers can rewrite/revise your release to make it more readable and more effective. Allow at least one working day for completion. Includes one hour of editing, and only one draft provided.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

When you order a news distribution plan, also choose this add-on option (#WRI-3), then after checkout submit your news release on the information/project form. We then assign a staff writer to review and revise your release. A second editor on our staff will double-check it, then e-mail you "our version" of your news release. You may then edit further, and send us your "final," or you can approve as-is. You may choose the distribution date/time once the draft is approved.

TO ORDER THIS SERVICE

This "editing/revision" add-on option is only available when ordered at same time as a >news distribution service plan. To order, first choose a distribution plan in our order system, then choose this "add-on option" (#WRI-3), then checkout. Use the standard news information/project form (not the "with writing" form) after checkout.

*Note: releases sent via PRN will normally be limited to 400 words. Longer releases (optional) are $45 each additional 100 words for the distribution fee.

Press Release Writing
plus Targeted Distribution to the Media

One of the most confusing aspects of our service and our order system is that we consider writing to be an "add-on option" to targeted news distribution. This is because sending news to the media is our primary service.

Basically, when you order a news distribution plan (which sends your press release to magazines, TV, newspapers, etc.), the cost of writing a release is $199 — or, if you don't need distribution services (such as if you're distributing the release yourself), the fee for us to write a release for you is $249. These prices do not include the cost of sending the release to the media — only the cost of having one of our experienced writers compose your news release. So, the cost of writing and sending a release to the media is determined by adding together the cost of a news distribution plan fee, plus the writing/editing plan fee.

Total Cost of Writing plus Distribution

To better help you determine the "total cost" of both having us write your release and sending it to the media, we've created this simple chart (below) with the total cost of the writing fee plus distribution fee combined.
