How to personalize a template

An effective book press release leads with the actual news, gives verifiable publication details and context, avoids inflated praise, provides a usable quotation and contact information, and makes the relevance to a specific audience or locality obvious.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
  4. 4
    Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
  5. 5
    Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
