Happy Holidays to all our readers of the Pitt County Women's Journal, the popular bimonthly magazine that reaches more than 11,000 readers.

The Pitt County Women's Journal is now published by East Carolina Publishing Company, and our first edition set for February-March 2009 will be full of interesting articles and authors from our area.

We'll be expanding each edition to include Special Sections, as we believe this will deepen our coverage of the area, provide more valuable articles and make each edition even more interesting.

The Pitt County Women's Journal will also continue to marry publishing for print with publishing for the web, as we blend our internet marketing expertise with our publishing background. This powerful combination of print and internet media keeps the Journal on top of technology.

We believe in relationship building and want to work with past and future clients of the Journal so their articles, in print and on the web, help grow their businesses. We'll stress fresh ideas, repetition, professional display and referrals as our core strategy.

East Carolina Publishing is a local family-owned business with Anna Belousova and Casey Turton providing the management leadership. Sheila Pridgen remains as an Exective Committee board member and will provide sales and consulting services to East Carolina Publishing.

Casey brings more than 25 years in graphics and internet programming, including 12 years as a journalist, to the Journal. Anna brings her business administration expertise to the organization and will work with clients on account related issues.

The Pitt County Women's Journal is already a tradition in Pitt County and reaches more than 11,000 readers in nearly 200 distribution locations. We hope you plan on being part of this tradition with us.
