Everything about using TS Newswire, on one page.

TS Newswire is a press release distribution platform where you can compare ready-made distribution packages or build your own list of outlets, pay online, submit your announcement, and track review and publication from one dashboard — without needing a sales call.

Every order goes through a real editorial review before anything is distributed, and you get a publication report with live URLs once outlets pick up your release, not just a promise that it was "sent".

Free publishing (a $1 charge, used only to verify a real company and deter spam) gets your announcement a dedicated page on TS Newswire’s own newsroom, with the same editorial review as a paid order. It does not include distribution to any external outlet, wire service or search index.

Paid distribution packages add real, named external outlets on top of that TS Newswire newsroom page — the exact outlets depend on the package or custom list you choose. If you start with a free release and later want wider distribution, your dashboard has a "Distribute this release" option that reuses the same content instead of making you resubmit it.

You can start an order and pay without creating an account first. After a successful payment, TS Newswire automatically links the order to an account matching your checkout email — sign in (or create a password) with that same email afterward and your order will already be there.

If you’d rather create an account up front, use Sign Up from the header. Either way, every order is tied to the email address used at checkout, so always use an email you can access later.

This is the full lifecycle of an order. You can start reading anywhere, but following it top to bottom is exactly what happens from the moment you land on the site to the moment your report is complete.

The short version: you plan using public pricing and outlet lists, pay online without needing an account first, receive an account email after payment, finish and submit your release from the dashboard, a human editor reviews it, you fix anything they flag, and once approved it is published and distributed while live pickup links build your report.

The Pricing page lists every active package with its price, approximate outlet count, network focus (for example business/financial vs. broad national coverage), typical turnaround and whether premium, editorial-review outlets are included.

Use "View Included Outlets" on any package card to see the actual named outlets before you buy — nothing is a mystery "network of thousands." If a package doesn’t fit, you can build your own list instead (see Publication network below).

The Network page works like a catalog: search and filter outlets by category, region and price, then add the ones you want. The total price updates as you add outlets, and your selection carries into checkout the same way a package does.

This is the right option if you need specific named outlets (for example one finance-focused publication) rather than a bundled package.

Each outlet in the TS Newswire network is a named publication — you can see it, its category and its typical turnaround before you buy. Outlet detail pages note whether that outlet applies its own editorial review on top of TS Newswire’s review, and whether it’s more likely to require revisions for regulated categories (health, finance, crypto, gambling).

Distribution to an outlet is not the same as guaranteed publication by that outlet — outlets can still decline content that violates their own policies. See our editorial guidelines for the categories with extra review.

Placing an order takes four steps: pick a package (or build a custom outlet list), review it in your cart, complete checkout with your billing details, and pay. Your order is created the moment checkout starts, and its status updates automatically once payment succeeds.

All payments are processed securely by Stripe — TS Newswire never sees or stores your full card details. Available payment methods depend on your region and currency. Receipts and order records are tied to the email address used at checkout, so use one you can access for support later.

TS Newswire’s refund guarantee covers releases that are not published as agreed. Full details are in our refund policy — see the Policies section in the footer, or contact support with your order reference for a specific case.

Use Sign In with the same email you used at checkout — any orders placed as a guest with that email are automatically linked to your account the first time you sign in. If you forget your password, use "Forgot password" to reset it.

You never need to create an account before buying. After a successful payment, TS Newswire creates (or reuses) an account for the email address you entered at checkout and sends you an account email with a secure sign-in link.

The first time you sign in with that email, any orders placed as a guest with the same address are linked to the account automatically — nothing to claim manually. If the email has not arrived after a few minutes, check spam, then use "Forgot password" with the same address to get in.

You can write your release content directly during checkout using the built-in rich-text editor, or ask our newsroom to write it for you as an add-on. Either way, you’re not locked in the moment you pay — you can keep editing the content from your dashboard right up until it enters review.

A complete submission includes: a headline, the release body, your company boilerplate, a media contact (name, email, phone), your company website, and optionally a logo or featured image. The more complete this is, the fewer "changes requested" round-trips you’ll see.

Every order — free or paid — moves through the same review pipeline. After payment, your release content is Submitted and goes Under review. Our team checks formatting, claims, links, contact details and category-specific rules (see editorial guidelines).

If something needs fixing, the order moves to Changes requested and you’ll see our notes in your dashboard — you can revise and resubmit. Once it’s ready, we mark it Approved and send you a status email with a link where you can review and confirm it before it goes live. After that it’s Published: visible on your TS Newswire newsroom page, and for paid packages, sent out to your outlet list. Once outlets pick it up, live links start appearing in your publication report.

Open your order in the dashboard and use "Manage content" to change the headline, body, images, or media contact. This is available while the order is Draft, Submitted or Changes requested. Once an order is Approved or Published, further changes need to go through support since the content may already be with outlets.

If a release needs edits before it can go out, its status becomes Changes requested and you’ll receive an email with our reviewer’s notes plus a link to see the details. Revise the content from your dashboard and it goes back into review automatically.

If a release can’t be approved at all (for example it violates editorial guidelines and can’t reasonably be fixed), its status becomes Rejected and the reason is included in the notification. See our editorial guidelines for the specific rules by industry.

Your order has two layers: the payment/fulfillment status and the content status of the release itself. The content status is the one you will interact with most, and it appears identically in your dashboard, in status emails and on the order page — one vocabulary everywhere.

You only ever need to act on two statuses: Draft (finish and submit the content) and Changes requested (apply the reviewer notes and resubmit). Everything else is TS Newswire working, and you will get an email when it changes.

Every release — free or paid — is reviewed by a human editor before it is approved for publication. The review is not a formality: outlets in the network trust TS Newswire content precisely because releases that arrive are formatted and legal-safe.

The reviewer works through a fixed checklist: headline accuracy (no clickbait or unsupported superlatives), dateline and company identification, verifiable claims with proper attribution, link count and link safety (no cloaked, affiliate or shortened URLs), working media contact details, and the category-specific rules for regulated industries such as health, finance, crypto and gambling.

Outcome is one of three things: Approved (you get a confirmation email), Changes requested (you get specific notes — this is the normal path for a first submission, not a failure), or Rejected (only when a release violates guidelines in ways that cannot reasonably be fixed).

When a reviewer marks a release Changes requested, nothing is wrong with your order — it simply means the editor found specific items to fix before the release can represent you (and TS Newswire) in front of outlets. Most first submissions go through exactly one round of this.

You will receive a status email, and the reviewer notes appear on the order in your dashboard. Typical notes ask for a softer claim ("guaranteed results" → "designed to"), a missing media phone number, an over-limit link, or required regulatory language for your industry.

As outlets pick up your release, TS Newswire records each pickup — outlet name, live URL, publication date and status — directly on your order. You can open any order in your dashboard to see this list build up over time, click through to each live placement, and use it as your delivery record.

Not every outlet in a package publishes every release (see "What is an outlet?" above) — your report shows exactly which ones did, so you always know what you actually received.

When an order completes, it becomes a template. From the order in your dashboard you can reorder the same distribution for a new announcement — the package, outlets and saved content fields carry over so you only write the new release.

If you started with the $1 free press release, your dashboard shows a "Your press release is live" banner once it publishes. "Distribute this release" takes the exact published content into a paid package checkout — no re-upload, no rewriting. The new paid order links back to the original free order.
