Wiley Announces Winner of 'Who's Your BlogHer Hero' Contest
Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) July 1, 2008 -- John Wiley & Sons is proud to announce that "Melissa" of Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters, has been selected as the winner of the Who's Your BlogHer Hero? Contest.
In March 2008, Wiley collaborated with BlogHer Inc., to launch a contest to find a "BlogHer Hero". The goal was to recognize and reward a blogger that has made an impact in the life of women and how he or she uses that blog to inspire passion, innovation and ability to inspire a community. A team of six judges used these criteria to review the hundreds of entries received and arrive at the eventual winner.
"Melissa", in the eyes of the judges, fit this profile completely. She writes a blog that is, in her own words, "about infertility and pregnancy loss, an exploration of adoption and donor gametes, a bitch session about daily life and books, an outlet for stories and baking lessons written by a sustainable-living, kosher, Jewish, mother of twins conceived via fertility treatments who is still trying to add to her family."
"This contest has been an incredible experience from the beginning," said Ellen Gerstein, Director of Marketing for John Wiley & Sons. "To see so many in the community of bloggers taking this chance to recognize one of their own was inspiring. Unfortunately, in the end we could only have one winner, but I think the judges did a fantastic job and selected a winner we can all be proud of."
As the winner, "Melissa" will receive roundtrip airfare for herself and a guest to San Francisco and two-night's accommodations, along with two full conference passes to the BlogHer 2008 Annual Conference. She will also be the subject of a chapter in the mini-book, BlogHer Heroes, that will make its debut at the BlogHer Conference in San Francisco on July 18, 2008.
