Write professional press releases with the correct format — instantly exportable, journalist-ready, and free.
The Press Release Writer turns your announcement into a properly formatted, journalist-ready press release in seconds. It follows the standard wire-service structure reporters expect — a FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE tag, a strong headline and optional sub-headline, a city-and-date dateline, the inverted-pyramid body, an executive quote, the ### end mark, an About boilerplate, and a media-contact block — so your news lands looking professional rather than improvised.
Every field you type updates the live preview instantly, and you can copy the plain-text version, download a .txt file, or print a clean PDF when you're done. People use it to:
Everything runs local and in-browser — your headline, quotes, and contact details never leave your device and nothing is uploaded to any server, so unannounced news stays confidential until you send it.
From top to bottom: a FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (or embargo) tag, a bold headline and optional sub-headline, a dateline, the lead and body paragraphs, an executive quote, the ### end mark, an About / boilerplate section, and a media-contact block. This tool lays out all of those parts for you automatically.
The headline is the one-line hook that earns the open; the dateline (e.g. "Sydney, Australia, 13 June 2026 —") states where and when the news originates; and the boilerplate is the standing About paragraph describing your company that appears on every release so editors can identify you at a glance.
The inverted pyramid puts the most important facts first — the lead paragraph answers who, what, where, when, and why — then each following paragraph adds less critical detail. Journalists skim the top and may cut from the bottom, so front-loading the news means your key point survives even a heavy edit.
Use FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE when reporters may publish the moment they receive it. Use an embargo — switch the Release dropdown to "Embargoed Until..." and choose a date — when you want to brief journalists early but hold all coverage until a set day, such as a launch or earnings announcement.
A direct quote gives the story a human voice and a ready-to-print soundbite, which makes a reporter's job easier. It should come from a named, senior spokesperson — typically a CEO, founder, or relevant executive — and express opinion or vision rather than repeat the facts already in the body.
400–600 words is the industry standard — roughly one printed page. Journalists receive hundreds of releases a day and rarely read anything that requires scrolling, so keep it to a strong lead, one or two body paragraphs, and a single quote, with every sentence factual and relevant.
Use the buttons under the preview: "Copy Text" puts a plain-text version on your clipboard to paste into a pitch email, ".txt" downloads a text file named after your headline, and "PDF" opens a clean print view you can save as a PDF. Everything is generated in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
