The Best New Thing Online



Today it's launched! The online magazine you'll want to bookmark, subscribe to, read, submit to, and nibble on every single day. (And finally, for those of you who have been wondering, an explanation for that button in my sidebar!)

Collecting the best, magazine-quality content from blogs you love and blogs you'll love to meet, Blog Nosh Magazine will publish 3-5 posts a day on a wide range of topics. Everything from gardening to parenting an autistic child to technology to cooking to business to politics will show up in Blog Nosh. In the channels of Blog Nosh, you'll find writing that's eloquent, hilarious, informative, heart-warming, and provocative from people whose interests mesh with yours and whose perspective you'll be glad to read.

We have a large group of editors, broken up into the different Channels that comprise our primary topics. Editors will choose content, approach writers for pieces, and put together short bios to let you know more about the bloggers whose work you're reading. As you read what gets posted on Blog Nosh, we hope you'll enjoy great content, get to know the tastes of different editors and look forward to their latest picks, and meet some new bloggers you'll be delighted to add to your blogroll.

We also hope you will get involved. Blog Nosh republishes the very best of your archived posts, selectively providing a mix of styles and topics. If I read your blog regularly, it's a good bet that at some point, I'll approach you to ask if you are interested in republishing one of your best posts. I am editing on the Family Channel, and I'm always on the lookout for knockout posts on all aspects of family life. But while Editors will actively seek out content we remember resonated with us when we first read it, we'll also consider posts you want to self nominate.

You can increase your exposure and traffic, and become part of this great community of bloggers who are featured in Blog Nosh. If you have a post you think might be appropriate, check out Blog Nosh. If it's a Family post, email me and tell me about it. If it better suits another channel, or you're not sure, check out the Editors' page and meet the other Editors. Email whomever seems most appropriate, and offer up your post. There's an FAQ page with all the details you'll need about how to self-nominate.

And whether or not you want to see your work republished in Blog Nosh Magazine, I hope you'll check it out. It's fun, thoughtful, smart, timely, entertaining. In short, it's the perfect little nibble to go with your morning coffee. * nom nom nom nom * As Daugher says, "mmmm...BE-licious."

What an awesome idea. Anything that furthers great writing (and reading!) is a good thing.

Momo Fali said...

Eek! I'm scared...yet intrigued. Another thing to read is a bit overwhelming, but it sounds SOOO good. Okay, I'll go over. See how you talked me into it and you weren't even talking?

Man, I should just repost this one in the FAQ. You nailed it. I've gotten to close to it and can't tell what I'm explaining anymore.

Ooh, and these comments are delicious! "The best new thing online"? I'm going to marry ohmommy.

What a great idea. Once upon a time is was all about the writing for me, and I need to be reminded of that. I will check it out soon, if not in twelve seconds.

Also? Very glad the site name doesn't include the word HER, which has been done. This already feels so much more inclusive. Excited to go see!
