This was a really good press release. It seems like you're a natural writer and you give out the information clearly. I was impressed because I know how much time you had to get the info, organize it, and write the release. I have nothing critical to say because this was a lot better than mine. Great Job!

Hey Meg, well I think you actually did a really good job with this press release, considering the amount of time we were allowed. I only have some minor suggestions. I would consider bolding the headling a little and making it a little bigger. Also, in your first sentence, there is a gramatical error. I think it is just a typo. There is also one in the quote you have from Preston Parker. Also, I think in your lead, the main point is to get out that Parker is opening up a new ABC Real Estate in Logan. That is the news, so maybe make sure that is in your lead, not just the stuff about Bill. Anyway, it was still great! Keep a truckin away man!
