This is really good advice.
Writing your own press releases is so very important. If we write them
ourself, we usually get what we wanted,
And another tip: When you are interviewed for a newspaper, this is YOUR
OPPORTUNITY TO ASK for something. I always decide in advance of an interview
for the newspaper, exactly what I WANT to put out there in the interview. I
figure out WHAT I want to ask for - what I need - and you would be amazed
how well this works.
