Today's post is brought to you by #PromoDay2016 sponsor Cedar Loft Publishing.

We aren’t the biggest, just the best at making dreams come true!

Our Mission

Your book is your creation, a part of you, so we strive:

• to treat your creation with the love and respect it deserves,
• to be an author’s publishing company first and foremost,
• to work with authors until their manuscript is polished to perfection and then published,

• to be there for you every step of the way,
• and much, much more!

Our Company

Nestled in the beautiful mountains of eastern West Virginia sits a cedar log cabin surrounded by mountain laurel, cedar trees, and Mother Nature. Within this cabin is a loft that Cedar Loft Publishing calls home. This loft is where our home office is located. Our are team members are either volunteers or freelancers located in various parts of the United States and are in constant contact with the home office via technology.

Cedar Loft Publishing, formerly Cedar Loft Productions, is a division of J & P Enterprises, LLC and has been in business since 2013, publishing books and making writer’s dreams come true.

Cedar Loft Publishing is a traditional publishing company designed for its authors and we will make every effort to put the author’s interests first. When we partner with an author, that author can rest assured their manuscript will get the personalized attention it deserves and every effort will be made to assure a quality book results.

Our founder and CEO/Executive Editor, Jenny McKinney says, “Everyone who has the desire to be a published author should have the opportunity to publish quality work!”

We do just that! All our books are professionally edited and receive a professional cover design and formatting assuring our authors of a quality finished book they can be proud to sign. We also work one-on-one to help the author market their finished book. While we expect books to be professionally edited prior to submission, we will offer our authors a discount on our professional editing services.

Submissions are always open and we welcome all genres. We recently started publishing children’s books under our brand, Lil Butterfly books.

At this time, we only publish work written in English by authors located in the United States of America.

Cedar Loft Publishing Marketing Strategies

Today's post is brought to you by #PromoDay2016 sponsor Cedar Loft Publishing.

As you’re probably aware, we are a small press working as a traditional book publisher. We have been in business for three years and are just now getting known in the book world. Our marketing team is working to attract retail book stores to stock our books and this is looking very promising. We are currently in the process of applying to Barnes and Noble and hope to soon have a working relationship with them. We will also be looking into Books a Million along with several independent book stores in various locations. This takes time but we are now in a position with our business to work with these stores.

We are working with a marketing consultant to enhance our marketing strategies and develop our approaches to the book stores. In addition, we are creating a company blog where we will feature our authors and their books along with writer tips.

We will be attending book fairs in future so all our books will get exposure at those.

We list books in the Library of Congress Online Catalog so they are available to libraries and schools. Our books are also listed in Books in Print.

As soon as a book is released, it will be made available to most online books stores and will be displayed on their web sites. It will also be available for order at retail bricks and mortar book stores whether or not they stock it.

Our books will also be listed on our Facebook business page, Twitter, and in our catalog on our web site.

We expect our authors to market their books and we have marketing packages available for authors to purchase.
