News Release Critique:

What does it take to sell books with a good news release? In a 15-minute phone call, I can give you feedback on your news
release to help you make it one that sells books.
To book a critique, send me your news release via email along with the best time
to call you within a few days.
Each critique includes a
15-minute feedback session via telephone as well as a rewrite by John to create
a news release that gets attention and makes sales.
