Editors
(still under reconstruction after our move from TypePad; “bear” with us!)
These are the yummy folks you want to submit your posts to
if you would like to be featured on Blog Nosh Magazine!
Read their bios, visit their sites, pick who you are comfortable with and submit!
By the way, be sure to check out our Submission Guidelines and FAQ page
for more details and tips,
such as that you are much more likely to have a post featured if you
submit only one or two and
submit it directly to a channel editor and not to Megan (the Publisher).
Otherwise…

Jenny Motley from Crash Test Mommy

Velma from A Smeddling Kiss
Velma lives with her family on Cape Cod, where she attempts to blend in with the normal folk. She sucks at writing these short little bio things, because it takes a large amount of fancy words to convey the magnificent complexity that is her life. She has a son on the autistic spectrum, a husband who spends most of his waking hours fighting cancer, and a daughter who is like most 8 year old girls - charming and delightful to everyone but her mother. (Velma also seriously considered saying “a buttload of fancy words” in that earlier sentence, but wants you to think she is classy.)

Amie Adams from Mamma Loves…
Raising three boys with her husband in the same Northern Virginia suburb where he grew up, Amie Adams maintains a sneaking suspicion that her in-laws are enjoying the fact that she is enduring the same little league politics that they survived oh so many years ago. When not at work as a political consultant or on the ball field, she’s trying to become a gardening guru because she’s given up on ever being able to keep the inside of her house clean.
Amie started her personal blog, Mamma Loves…, in 2006 as a place to dump the random thoughts
floating through her head. The unexpected side effect was an introduction
to a community of incredible people and a much lighter, humorous perspective
on life. In all her spare time, Amie also writes at DC Metro Moms and serves as an editor to Kirtsy. Oh yeah, she hangs out on Twitter too.

Robin from PENSIEVE
Married for over 20 years to her college sweetheart, Robin is mom to two teens and a tween, remarkable since she’s still “35″. A former marketing professional, she finds blogging fills a creative void, or at a minimum, provides a stage for her exhibitionist tendencies. She’s a devoted fan of laughter, thunderstorms, the beach, tiramisu, Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie, sweet tea, Dancing with the Stars (”Don’t judge me!”) and Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movies. She’s allergic to tomatoes, dusting, vacuuming, slasher flicks, sky diving and bungee jumping—which flies in the face of her of her “carpe diem” spirit. ClickClick if you wanna know more.
When she calls herself a Jesus Freak, she means she’s doin’ her best to love God & love others–which means a thousand more things. Her faith today looks very different from her faith ten years ago, and slowly she’s understanding what it means to “live under grace, not law”. Robin’s editor’s picks will include a wide range of authors, some with whom she won’t agree, but always with the goal of getting you to think.
Visit PENSIEVE and you’ll find she’s Queen of the Ellipses and Princess of Exclamations…don’t even think about robbing her of the title!!!
