Public Relations A solid public relations plan projects the merits and values of your business image as well as the products and/or services you offer. Many believe the public relations part of their marketing plan is a non-advertising communication, and often the focus of public relations materials appears news making rather than revenue increasing. But, you can increase your press coverage without costly advertising. 

Examples of Press Releases

Feature Stories   Writers cover many different kinds of stories, and they use specific frameworks for organizing their stories. Some stories are told chronologically. Other stories start in the present, and then flash back to fill in details important to understanding the story. While all the frameworks available represent good approaches, at the heart of most news articles is the "inverted pyramid." ·

Essay Writing  The essay structure confuses student writers. Sometimes the problem is simply no previous exposure to the format, but more often students just do not understand the format. Struggling to make my students understand that paragraphs are not about the number of sentences and essays are not about the number of paragraphs, I realized I had to make them grasp that both elements of the essay are tools for argument.

Profile Writing A profile provides an intimate view of a person or business by exploring who the subject is with the intent of conveying what is most interesting about the subject.  The profile must look at the subject's chronology and answer questions about who, what, when and where and how with the intention of enlightening the reader about how those elements influenced the subject of the profile.

Profile Writing Examples

Ernie's Profile

Review Writing The most successful reviewers put the interests of their readers first and last throughout the review. In the opening statement, they capture the reader's attention. After introducing the work (by author, producer), the reviewer needs to specify the type of work (for example, fiction, nonfiction, biography, autobiography) to help the readers participate in the review.
