Writing press releases

Defining your message;
writing a good press release - what information to include and how to construct it;
distributing your release;
back-up queries;
follow-up.

Group teaching with practical examples of good and bad press releases and practical exercises. All writing courses at City Lit will involve an element of workshop. This means that students will produce work which will be discussed in an open and constructive environment with the tutor and other students. The college operates a policy of constructive criticism, and all feedback on another student’s work by the tutor and other students should be delivered in that spirit. For classes longer than one day regular reading and writing exercises will be set for completion at home to set deadlines.
