PETE’S PRESS RELEASE WORKSHOPS

PETE’S PRESS RELEASE WORKSHOPS teach producers and performers how to do their own press.

What is a press release? What goes into a press release? How do you get press to read them and post them? HOW DO YOU DO THIS?! These topics will be tackled at Pete's fun, interactive, idea-generating Zoom workshop which will empower you to create and send your own press releases. We'll discuss how to create engaging press releases, the different types, generating press-worthy ideas, and figuring out how to reach your audience. We'll discover effective ways to get the word out about your show, song, product, event, etc. Plus, you'll receive access to press release templates and samples.

Pete's been doing press for his shows, indie performers, fringe performers, and small theater companies for over 15 years which have been featured in The New York Times, TimeOut, and just about everywhere in-between. You'll leave this workshop with the tools to do it yourself.

Workshops happen every other month on Zoom. Email Pete here for info on upcoming workshops.
