Third, don't be afraid of the draft. After you've answered the pertinent questions and decided on a creative way to express yourself, prepare a rough draft. Again, anybody who has ever had the adventure of reviewing agency news releases understands that most are first drafts. Verbiage is excessive. Sentences are circuitous.
Imagery is pedestrian.
And grammar and even, spelling, are often missing. Public relations writing should be good writing. And that means clarity, cohesiveness, succinctness and simplicity. It also means having a logical organization, with clear transitions connecting related thoughts. That suggests getting rid of unnecessary words, awkward sentences and redundant paragraphs.
