About Me

Stacy Morrison is an editor, writer, consultant, blogger, mother, and author living in Brooklyn, New York. She was recently named the first dedicated editor in chief of BlogHer.com, the website that is the public face of BlogHer, the leading cross-platform media network created by, for and with women who use social media for personal and business ventures. She also founded BlogHerMoms, a channel on BlogHer.com all about the journey of motherhood, featuring great writing from women bloggers all around the web. She was a magazine editor for 20 years—most recently editor-in-chief of Redbook magazine, from 2004-2010—with previous stints as executive editor of Marie Claire, editor in chief of the now-defunct design magazine One, editor in chief of Modern Bride, and she was a part of the launch teams of Conde Nast Sports for Women, Time Out New York and Mirabella.

Morrison is author of Falling Apart in One Piece: One Optimist’s Journey Through the Hell of Divorce, which was published by Simon & Schuster in 2010 and 2011 (paperback). Kirkus Reviews called the story “candid and inspiring.” In reaction to all the emails she received after it was published, Morrison turned her book website into a community where people going through divorce could talk about resilience and peace and letting go with grace. (Okay, and to complain a little bit, too.) Her book was optioned by Lorne Michaels/NBC (after she wrote this article for the Modern Love column in the New York Times), and Morrison really hopes they get around to making it into a TV show and doesn’t really care who plays her.

Morrison has also been a dedicated domestic violence awareness advocate, as an editor at both Marie Claire and Redbook and beyond, working closely with Liz Claiborne, Inc. on numerous campaigns for more than 10 years. Redbook’s feature “You Can Save A Woman’s Life Just By Asking Her How She’s Doing,” was nominated for a National Magazine Award in 2006, and Morrison has received numerous awards and honors for her work in this field, including the Safe Horizon Champion Award (2008) and the National Domestic Violence Hotline Vital Link Award (2007). She recently became a founding board member of the non-profit Violence UnSilenced, a fantastic and groundbreaking safe online community where abuse survivors can share their stories, either anonymously or publicly.

Morrison is a sought-out expert on relationships, motherhood, marriage, money, and the challenges and conflicts all women face today, and was a regular guest on NBC’s Today for three years. She has also appeared on CNN Headline News, CNN Moneyline, Good Morning America, The Early Show, and many other national television programs. She wrote the foreword for Sleep Is For The Weak: The Best of the Mommybloggers, and was a contributor to Kirtsy Takes A Bow: A Celebration of Women’s Favorites Online.

She lives in Brooklyn with her 8-year-old son, Zack; loves paddling, hiking or skiing in the Adirondacks; has dared to fall in love again since her divorce; and spends way too much time on Twitter and Facebook.
