№ 03 The Right Fit

Which edition is yours?

Skip the agonizing. Match your situation to the column below — and if you're still torn, file a brief and let an editor call it.

¶ 01

You need the complete pipeline

Writing, your approval, broad distribution and proof it ran — without paying for names you don't need yet. That's Essential Distribution: a 500+ word release written for you, 250+ live placements, complete report.

Essential Distribution — $750 →

¶ 02

You want names people know

FOX, ABC and NBC affiliate sites plus a NewsBreak.com placement put your announcement in context customers already recognize — with 300+ live placements behind it.

Professional Distribution — $1,250 →

¶ 03

You need a masthead to point to

Investors and buyers do their diligence. A recognized media placement — bio link included — gives their search something real to find. Premium masthead? That's Premium Media.

Featured Media — $1,500 →

Broad distribution builds presence. A premium masthead builds belief. Premium Media is the only edition that buys both at once.

LAUNCHING SOMETHING BIG? READ ABOUT THE HEADLINER

№ 04 Questions

Pricing, asked and answered.

One announcement, one document, one distribution run. A single release covers one story — a launch, a funding round, a milestone — written at 500+ words and distributed once across your package's network. Two separate stories are two releases; that's what multi-release and agency rates are for.

Any time before your release goes on the wire, yes — you pay only the difference between editions. Once it's been distributed, an upgrade becomes a new release, since the wire doesn't do reprints. Our editors will flag it early if your story deserves a Spotlight or Headliner placement, so you rarely find out too late.

Yes — talk to the desk. Agencies and anyone planning several releases a year get custom rates, and every placement report is clean enough to forward straight to your clients. Write to support@launchheadlines.com or file a note through the contact page.

Two commitments, in writing. If your release can't clear our editorial review — and the included revisions can't fix it — you get a full refund. And on Featured Media and Premium Media, if the recognized or premium media placement doesn't land, that portion of your fee is refunded. Nothing publishes without your approval, ever.

Simply: order online or file your brief, the desk confirms scope, and payment is a single one-time charge — no subscription, nothing renewing quietly in the background. Not ready to publish immediately? Your order stays valid for 12 months; use it when the news is ready.
