Writing City Press Releases

I’m expanding my services to writing press releases for city governments, a field that I think is underserved.

I’m currently writing a few press releases each month for the Alameda Public Works Department. Here are two of the most recent press releases I wrote for the city:

• Alameda Public Works Dept. Leads County in Going Green
• Preparing for El Nino Storm Season in Alameda

I’m just starting writing for Alameda, so hopefully this will be a business relationship that will continue.

I don’t think many cities do enough promoting themselves. I can help them do this by writing press releases, managing their social media, contacting the press for coverage, and improving city websites to make them easier for citizens to navigate and get the information they need.

If you’d like to talk about how I can help your city government with press releases or other communications on a per-item fee or long-term contract, please contact me and we can go over your options.
