I'm very excited to announce that Pamela Parker, formerly managing editor of ClickZ, will be joining FM as manager of author services, starting in August.

Pamela is well known in the marketing industry as an author, blogger, industry vet and all around great person. Find out more about her at her site The River, or peruse her amazing catalog of stories at ClickZ. Her last story for ClickZ is here.

But Pamela is more than a writer, she's a great manager of talent, and that's what her new role at FM is all about - taking care of our growing list of authors. We are at nearly 75 authors now, and Pamela couldn't be joining us at a better time. Pamela has been covering the Internet since 1998, when she graduated from Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University (she worked at the seminal @NY after graduating). Plus, she's a new mom - her first child recently turned one years old. Welcome aboard, Pamela!!!
