Press release

Explicitly following directions in a marketing book, I wrote and sent out a press release. Now I see it appearing online all over the world. Certainly getting exposure. Will more result? We'll see. Again, with FIFTEEN titles to release, this experiment is a marathon.

Time to get on #2 ... no rush, just the steady pace of the marathon runner.

It's a screenplay! I mean, "Stop the Whistleblower" not only reads vertically, but the narrative "direction" reads like a script. It's got "slug lines," too.

Ironic title, considering the recent headlines.

Yeah, I'll give you points for formal innovation. As for content, well, strip it down to action and it looks like?

If this were literary, it would look like Hemingway... with a few non sequiturs (jump cuts) thrown in.

Poetry, too, would work with this format. After all, what is a screenplay?

You know, I know, but the general reader has never seen a screenplay ... so this might be quite new and different?
