Write the release
This free press release generator writes your announcement in AP structure from your facts: the headline, the subhead, the dateline, the lede, the quotes, the boilerplate and the media contact.
It's trained on what the most-read releases do differently, and it checks every line before you send. Nothing gets added that you didn't give it.
You get the release as text for a newswire, rich text for an email, or its own page to put live. There's no account.
What is a press release generator?
A press release generator is a tool that turns the facts of your news into a release a reporter can use as it is.
This one writes the words with AI and places the facts in code: the dateline, the date, who said each quote, and the contact.
What the most-read releases do differently
PR Newswire publishes its most popular releases every year. The generator is trained on its 20 most popular of 2025, measured against 137 everyday releases from the wire:
- Most-read 2025
- 12 words
- Everyday wire
- 15 words
- Most-read 2025
- 84%
- Everyday wire
- 52%
- Most-read 2025
- Paragraph 3
- Everyday wire
- Paragraph 4
- Most-read 2025
- 79%
- Everyday wire
- 52%
- Most-read 2025
- 484 words
- Everyday wire
- 453 words
Length barely differs. The most-read get to the point in the headline, quote someone early, and say who's behind the news.
19 releases show a direction, not a rule. The generator follows it: about 12 words in the headline, the first quote by the third paragraph, and a boilerplate every time.
A release that got read
One of PR Newswire's 20 most popular releases of 2025 came from Jersey Mike's Subs, on April 10:
Jersey Mike's Subs and customers across North America rallied to raise over $30 million to help more than 200 local charities during the company's 15th Annual Month of Giving in March.
Its headline, "Jersey Mike's Subs Raises Record-Breaking $30 Million in March for Local Charities", is 12 words with the number in it. The lede answers who, what, when and why in one sentence.
The founder's quote comes in the fourth paragraph, and the whole release is 187 words.
The press release format
Every release follows the AP structure newsrooms expect:
- Headline: who did what, in about 12 words
- Subhead: why it matters, with the best proof
- Dateline: the city in capitals and the date, the AP way (AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 14, 2026)
- Lede: one sentence with who, what, when, where and why
- Body: 3 to 5 short paragraphs of details, proof and availability
- Quotes: the first by the third paragraph, with the speaker's name and title
- Boilerplate: "About" your company, in the third person
- Media contact: a name, an email and a phone number
Copy the template, or open it in your AI to fill in:

How we know the release is ready
Every release is checked in code before you send it:
- Third person: flagged when it says we, our or I outside a quote
- Numbers: any number you didn't give it, so nothing made up goes out under your name
- Hype: the words reporters cut, like industry-leading, revolutionary and "excited to announce"
- The quote: flagged when there's none, or when no one is saying it
- The lede: flagged when the first paragraph runs over 70 words
- Length: flagged under 150 words or over 600
- The parts: a missing boilerplate or media contact
- Brackets: anything left in [brackets] to fill in
It also lists what to confirm before you send: each speaker approves their quote, the numbers, the date and every name.
Quotes: plain words or finished
Tell it what your speaker would say in plain words, and it writes the quote in their voice.
Already have an approved quote? Put it in quotation marks and it's used word for word.
Either way, have each speaker approve their words before you send. It's their name on it.
Embargoes
Tick Under embargo, then pick the date, the time and the time zone.
The release opens with the embargo line in capitals, like EMBARGOED UNTIL 9 A.M. ET, OCT. 14, 2026, in place of "For immediate release".
Send it, or put it live
| Format | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Copy text | A newswire's form, or a plain email |
| Copy for email | Gmail, Outlook or Google Docs, with the headline and the dateline in bold |
| Your release as a page | Your newsroom, or a link in your pitch |
| An attachment, or a reporter who asks for one |
Then pitch it: the media pitch generator writes the short email to one reporter, with your release as the story.
Mistakes that get releases ignored
- Burying the news under a paragraph about the company
- "We are excited to announce" as the first quote
- Hype a reporter has to cut before they can use a line
- Numbers and claims you can't back up
- No media contact, so no one can ask a follow-up question
- Sending it to everyone instead of pitching the right reporter
Who is the press release generator for?
It's for founders, creators and small teams who announce their own news without a PR agency:
- Media pitch generator – anyone sending the release to one reporter
- Press release headline generator – people who have the release and want a better headline
- Press release checker – anyone checking a release someone else wrote
- Lead magnet generator – people who want a page for the new readers the news brings
