Anyone got theirs done yet? You can start emailing them to me at: alexander13@gmail.com
TIP: Key points of a press release are to convey WHO, WHY, WHERE, WHEN, and WHAT('s going on). All why spinning it in the most positive way you can. Just keep your target audience in mind - The Press, The Sponsors, The Fans. Stick to the facts as best you can in any situation.

If this is, in fact, a job that one NESRian will score, then should we not open up the hiring process to the rest of NESRland? What I'm trying to say is that NESR should be the one to choose who NESR sends as a possible candidate for this lucrative opportunity. Perhaps a sort of "primary vote" to narrow it down so that only the "crème de la crème" of writers are actually exposed to the outside world. Use NESR to your advantage, there are a lot of smart people here who would be happy to vote on the preliminary entries. Maybe it wouldn't be an open vote. Maybe you put together a panel of elders and selectmen to vote in the primary. I don't know, I'm just throwing ideas out there. That's who I am... an idea man. If people want ideas, they come to me. Unfortunately, my full time gig pays way too much money and I am far too lazy to hit the ground running and do the legwork to make this opportunity valuable in any way, shape or form. Also, my writing style is a unique blend of action and semi-fiction. And believe it or not, semi-fiction doesn't go over well in a press release (ask me how I know!).
Well there you go... I've planted some seeds. Let's see if someone can dump some manure on them so the NESRian community can sit back and watch these seeds grow faster and taller than Jack's phallic beanstalk!
News team... ASSEMBLE!

Thank you for the opportunity.
Over the years, I have encouraged you to keep posting about your adventures in motorcycle racing.
I have enjoyed reading your posts and seeing you in the background at national events; it kind of makes
me feel like I have an inside contact to the world of racing.
Thanks again Alex, you sure do contribute to the NESR community.

I've gotten a couple submissions already and hope to get the rest by the weekend. Would like to read them on the plane to and from Miller so I can have some final candidates to put in front of Barry by Monday.
I happened to have lunch with John Ulrich of Roadracing World yesterday (one of the primary sites that will always post up press releases) and I brought up this NESR/Celtic Talent Search thing and he was wicked stoked on it. Thought it was a great idea to give someone a shot and seemed jazzed up to see what it would produce. Was cool to get feedback like that from someone of John's stature..
Thanks again everyone.
Let's do this!

Thanks Dan. Main reason why I'd share is b/c guys seem to enjoy and b/c I loved growing up and reading the same stuff from folks who were there. We're all a small bunch of pals here. Some of the haters were getting me down but fuck it, there will always be haters who think you're 'trying to look cool'. I view it as a bunch of dudes bench racing in the garage and sharing stories!

Can't wait to hear what you've got to share with us this year. I would love to get "inside" the GP world for a day. Good luck!
Wish I could get in on this opportunity, but this is the busiest summer I've ever had, I just don't think I have the time to give it the effort it deserves. Get back to me next season!
Hello!
Are you still looking for someone to write press releases?
