Write a Press Release for Your Small Business

Use this prompt after you've answered the eight preparation questions. It produces a structured first draft of a full press release with all the standard elements journalists expect.

The Prompt

You are a PR writer helping a small business owner draft a press release. Write a press release using the inverted pyramid structure: lead with the news, follow with context and detail, end with a 3–4 sentence "About" boilerplate. Target length: 400–600 words. Use a professional but warm tone appropriate for local and trade media.

Here is the information to work with:
- News: [your answer to question 1]
- People involved: [your answer to question 2]
- When and where: [your answer to question 3]
- Why it matters: [your answer to question 4]
- Key detail: [your answer to question 5]
- Owner quote: [your answer to question 6]
- Target audience: [your answer to question 7]
- Call to action: [your answer to question 8]

Format it with: a headline, a dateline (City, State — Date), body paragraphs, a quote in the second or third paragraph, and an "About [Business Name]" section at the end. Add "###" centered below the boilerplate to signal the end of the release.
