Rising Star Awards - August 2009 Winners Announced

Y! Brenna
The Rising Star Awards recognize some of Associated Content's most promising new Contributors who publish great content on a frequent basis, show a unique perspective and have climbed our Clout ladder quickly by using SEO and promoting their content.

Congratulations to our August winners:

Jolynne M Hudnell writes about what she knows-and that's a lot. Her article topics range from parenting and health tips to crafting guides, all written from personal experience. She has earned over 20,000 page views in just over 3 months of publishing on AC.

Rachel de Carlos has lived all over Europe but now resides in California. Her content focuses mainly on life in Greece, Israel, London and Santa Barbara - a truly unique and worldly perspective on "local" content.

In just over two months, Roz Zurko has published 133 pieces of content, racked up nearly 60,000 page views and climbed to a Clout 8. Her content spans her many areas of interest, from arts & entertainment to health & wellness.

As a jewelry designer, Lorraine Yapps Cohen is able to provide readers a unique insight into gemstones, precious metals, jewelry settings and jewelry shopping. Her expertise over her subject matter is readily apparent in the content she publishes.

Drew Bush recently graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science degree. His content is informed by his studies, as well as his intimate knowledge of Nevada and interest in arts and entertainment. He has published over 130 pieces since joining AC in early June.

Congratulations to this month's winners! Be sure to stop by their profile pages and welcome them to the AC community.

    Thank you AC and thank you all, my supporters, technical helpers, readers, writers, and e-friends. This award means more to me than any of you will ever know. We don't earn the award alone. It's the support in silent and invisible ways that allow us to do what we love to do, write. And the good grace of AC to get our writing out there for the world to read.

    Congrats to all August Rising Stars! Humbly, I am in the company of truly amazing and talented people. (Emotion is now welling up in my eyes.....) From my heart, thanks.
