Melinda Blau Biography

Award-winning journalist Melinda Blau has been researching and writing about relationships and social trends for more than thirty years. Her book, Family Whispering is the fourth book in the popular Baby Whispering series.

Melinda began collaborating with the late Tracy Hogg (a.k.a., the “Baby Whisperer”) in 2000 and has since given birth to three best-selling books: Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers, and The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems. Her new book, Family Whispering, guides BW fans through the next (and even trickier) phase of parenthood-working together as a family.

In her 2009 book, Consequential Strangers: Turning Everyday Encounters into Life-Changing Moments, a collaboration with psychologist Karen L. Fingerman, Melinda looked at the opposite end of the relationship spectrum: the surprisingly vital connections that extend beyond family and close friends–a subject that took her into the world of business and marketing, the Internet and social media, health and “place making.”Melinda’s more than hundred articles on families, marriage, education, health, and sexuality have been featured in highly-regarded print venues such as New York, The New York Times, Utne Reader, and the Psychotherapy Networker. For six years, she also penned “The New Family” column for Child magazine. More recently, she has contributed to a number of online magazines, including Shareable, More, BeliefNet and Psychology Today.

A featured guest expert on Oprah, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, and numerous other national and local TV and radio broadcasts, Melinda’s writing also has been honored by a wide variety of organizations, among them, the American Psychological Association, the Children’s Rights Council, the Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, the American Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology, the American Legion Auxiliary “Heart of America” competition, and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

Melinda’s other books include: Families Apart (co-parenting after divorce) with its companion reader, Loving and Listening. She also co-wrote three titles with family therapist Ron Taffel (Parenting by Heart, Nurturing Good Children Now, and The Second Family); civil rights activist Myrlie Evers Williams’ inspirational memoir, Watch Me Fly; Our Turn: How Women Triumph in the Face of Divorce with researchers Christopher Hayes and Deborah Anderson; and Barbara Biziou’s Joy of Ritual and Joy of Family Rituals.
