The most important thing people need to do is put themselves in the reporter's shoes and think about how many emails they will be getting in responde to their query. Short, sweet with good sound bites, a dash of why you are the most credible resource - and of course answering any questions the reporter has asked for in the query - will win every time.

I've been fortunate to get some great media placements with HARO, and I didn't realize how well Nancy Juetten's training prepared me for answering a media query until I posted a journalist query myself. WOW. One guy actually just sent me a link to his website - nothing else! How can you expect to get great PR for you or your company if you don't even submit the basic information requested? After all, it is called "do-it-yourself" publicity for a reason - you have to actually do it! HARO is a great resource, and from what I've seen, those who know how to pitch consistently get good placements. Thanks for the great pointers! Maria, I’m so glad you wrote this!
