Need a press release that is professionally written, newsworthy, and ready for distribution?
I’m Rachel, a Top Rated press release specialist with $60K+ earned, 163 completed Upwork jobs, a 100% Job Success Score, and experience supporting businesses across a wide range of industries.
I help companies, founders, agencies, and professionals turn their announcements into clear, credible press releases and distribute them through established newswire and media syndication networks.
PRESS RELEASE WRITING
I have experience writing press releases across a wide range of industries, including technology, healthcare, finance, real estate, e-commerce, entertainment, hospitality, legal services, education, professional services and etc.
Writing services include:
✓ Research and story-angle development
✓ Newsworthy headlines and subheadlines
✓ Clear and professional brand messaging
✓ SEO keyword integration
✓ Formatting, proofreading, and editing
✓ Media contact and company information review
PRESS RELEASE DISTRIBUTION
I provide distribution options for businesses seeking local, national, international, or industry-focused exposure.
Depending on the selected package, distribution may include major news platforms, business publications, local television affiliate websites, and hundreds of additional news and media sites.
Distribution services may include:
✓ Publication across established newswire networks
✓ Industry and geographic targeting options
✓ National and international distribution
✓ Journalist and media endpoint targeting
✓ Live publication links and distribution reports
✓ Guidance in selecting the appropriate distribution package
Specific outlet results depend on the distribution network, editorial requirements, and the subject of the announcement. I provide clear expectations before submission so you understand exactly what the service includes.
SEO-OPTIMIZED PRESS RELEASES
Press releases can support brand visibility, online credibility, search presence, and a more diverse backlink profile.
I optimize releases with:
✓ Relevant keywords used naturally
