Default Draft of First Press release
OK give it to me guys! I have been working on this for about a month now. I'd like to have it done within the next day or so. I am thinking I want to come up with some type of catchy New Year's related title and have 1/2 of 2 in mind.

Dawn Riley is announcing the launch of her company A Virtual Assistant in Paradise.

Venice, FL., November 26, 2007 (see when I started this lol)– Dawn Riley is the owner of A Virtual Assistant in Paradise, located in Venice, Florida. Her company specializes in providing back-office administrative support, business management, internet research, database management, marketing, bookkeeping, and public relations services to small-business owners and busy executives. Her clients represent all industries - from small businesses and corporate executives to contractors and Internet technology professionals.

Virtual Assistants take care of the administrative tasks on behalf of your business that you wish to delegate on an as-needed basis. Projects are primarily handled over the phone, by fax, e-mail and even instant messaging. By utilizing today’s technology, Virtual Assistants are providing smart office solutions to small businesses, home-based businesses and entrepreneurs world-wide.

Hourly rates of Virtual Assistants may at first seem expensive. Clients only pay for the time a Virtual Assistant spends on tasks, and if you take into consideration the overhead associated with a salaried employee, a Virtual Assistant is far less expensive.

Every successful business is built on a strong administrative foundation. Business owners and corporate executives should be focusing their time on developing and building relationships with their customers and clients. By delegating their administrative tasks to A Virtual Assistant in Paradise, they will not only save time and money, they will also increase their productivity.

To find out more about a Virtual Assistant in Paradise and the services that they offer, visit their website at http://www.vainparadise.com or contact Dawn Riley at

Hi Dawn
You've got such a great foundation here - I would just suggest polishing it up so it has a more 'professional' feel to it. And I would try not to refer to your clients/audience directly...here's my suggested first paragraph (hope this helps! )
I think if you can stay in this 'voice' throughout the release, then what you've got here will really shine!

Dawn Riley is pleased to announce the launch of her virtual assistance practice, A Virtual Assistant in Paradise, located in Venice, Florida. A Virtual Assistant in Paradise specializes in providing professional administrative support and business management as well as marketing, bookkeeping, and public relations services to small-business owners and busy executives. Servicing accounts of all sizes, from small businesses to corporate executives, to contractors and IT professionals, A Virtual Assistant in Paradise is the overworked business owner's answer to time and budget contraints.
