alice_elliottAlice Elliott, also known as the Fairy Blog Mother, offers tuition and advice to beginner and post-beginner bloggers. Her particular talent is explaining blogging “really simply” using ordinary, everyday language, and through tutorials and e-courses in a highly visual, step-by-step format. She is currently working on her new blog Beginner Bloggers, which will be stuffed full of simple and helpful ‘How-To’ posts that aim to clarify WordPress and other blogging issues. Alice believes that if technical things like blogging are explained properly from the beginning, this will make later advanced use a lot easier. @alice_elliott

Hayley Goleniowska speaking at BritMums Live 2015Hayley Goleniowska. Hayley created internationally renowned blog Downs Side Up to support other parents following a diagnosis of Down’s syndrome. Her words quickly became known for changing the nation’s perceptions of the condition. She campaigns tirelessly for inclusive advertising — her youngest daughter Natty is now a model who famously fronted the Sainsbury’s Back to School campaign, September 2014. She has appeared on Woman’s HourSunday Morning Live, the Lorraine show and Daybreak. She has been featured in Woman’s Own, BellaThe Daily Mail, The Sun and The Telegraph. Downs Side Up was recently tipped by The Financial Times as ‘a campaign blog from the frontline to watch’ and she has been listed as a Health Service Journal Rising Star for her influence within the medical profession. You can find Hayley on TwitterFacebook and Pinterest@DownsSideUp

Ellie StoneleyEllie Stoneley. Ellie’s first book Milky Moments is published by Pinter and Martin in May 2015. It’s a beautifully illustrated book for children and their families depicting breastfeeding as a normal day-to-day part of family life. When she’s not writing or singing songs about dingle dangle scarecrows with her 3-year-old daughter, Ellie Stoneley works freelance helping small charities and businesses to give themselves a louder voice online. She has worked all over the world, most notably helping teach Aboriginal children and mining opals in the Australian outback, and more recently, making a visit to Madagascar to highlight the issues many children face there, on behalf of John Humphrys charity the Kitchen Table Charities Trust. Ellie writes regularly about mothering and being an older firsttime mother on her own blog Mush Brained Ramblings, for Huffington Post, as well as at MumsnetMidlife MothersWhat to Expect and Breastfeeding Matters. She has appeared on TV and radio to discuss a variety of issues from breastfeeding to the over-emphasis on childproofing your house, to pregnancy, blogging and being an older mother.

Melinda-Fargo-profile-picture-800Melinda Fargo is a former senior executive now working with children’s services. She first came to social media attention via her successful, satirical and reflective blog, HerMelness Speaks…Out. This personal blog was born as an antidote to the sudden death of her beloved husband, Bronson, five years ago. It was therefore bereavement that ‘outed’ Melinda’s writing.

Last year, Melinda founded and is Editor-in-Chief of the news and editorial website, Post-40 Bloggers, which features and publicises the work of talented bloggers and writers aged 40+.
