Exciting Changes at Cedar Fort!

Cedar Fort, Inc. is going through some exciting changes. We now have a brand new company blog and have added to our marketing staff. All of the old blogs, except for this one, have been condensed into one. You can find news about our books, tips for writing, marketing and public relations advice and much more on the new blog! Mariah Overlock and Laura Jorgensen are going to be our content and social media writers. They will be running our blog, Twitter and Facebook accounts. Adam Thomas will come aboard on February 7th as our new publicist and will concentrate on media relations. I am now the public relations and marketing manager and will continue to work as the author liason. I'll still be running this PR blog but eventually would we love to switch it over to the new blog so everything is in one place.
Go check out the new blog and let us know what you think!
