I wrote a press release using help from this page - this week I'm going to have a spotlight article in the Hull Daily Mail business section, so can't be too wrong.

Only thing I have to say is try to emphasise a newsworthy point (mine was that I'm a wee 16 year old fresh out of school - they're a gullible newspaper I know).

Looks like you've probably got enough to be going on there, but if you need any more information we have articles on writing, distributing and finding angles for press releases here

Hi Chris,

Well done, that's excellent news! It must have been the latest addition to your portfolio that swung it!
