			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To me, the advice &#8220;hire a writer&#8221; is self-explanatory in its greater wisdom and purpose. It&#8217;s like &#8220;plant a tree.&#8221;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t follow it, of course, because I already am a writer. I imagine I&#8217;m not the only one who feels this way.</p>
<p>We recently submitted our new website Presskit&#8217;n, where you can build <a title="Free online newsrooms" href="http://presskitn.com">social media newsrooms</a>, to a neat little place called <a href="http://killerstartups.com/">KillerStartups</a>. Maybe you&#8217;ve heard of it.</p>
<p>KillerStartups has a somewhat daunting application process, although the results leave little to be desired. What surprised me most were the changes they made to my description of Presskit&#8217;n&#8211; changes<em> for the better</em>. It struck me: I&#8217;m a good writer, sure, but I&#8217;m also too familiar with my subject. It took a pair of outside eyes to make changes for the better. Or maybe the guy or girl over at KillerStartups (<a title="Do It Yourself Public Relations" href="http://www.killerstartups.com/Web20/presskitn-com-do-it-yourself-public-relations">You can see Presskit&#8217;n here</a>) is just that awesome at writing about new web apps.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m right back to &#8220;Hire a writer.&#8221; Find one and hire one if you&#8217;ve got a piece of important writing that needs to be finished. You won&#8217;t be disappointed.</p>
<p>Oh, and while you&#8217;re at it: Plant a tree.</p>
