Majestic Media Launches ePregnancy Magazine

Posted on June 14, 2002

Nancy Price and Betsy Gartrell-Judd know a little something work-at-home moms are also the founders of Myria Media, Inc. and ePregnancy.com, an online publication which has spun off a new print publication entitled ePregnancy Magazine. Published by Majestic Media, the magazine will hit newsstands this month with Price and Gartrell-Judd as the founding editors.

"Our new print magazine is a natural extension of the ePregnancy.com website," Price said. "It gives us a chance to explore new topics and formats. This isn't just a rehashing of information that's already on the site. The magazine and the website are well integrated, but each is a stand-alone piece offering readers fun, precise and up-to-date information."

ePregnancy Magazine will be a national monthly print magazine offering articles about everything related to pregnancy. While women will compose the majority of the publication's audience, the magazine will also include articles and information of interest to the father and other family members. Regular topics in ePregnancy will include fertility and preconception, fitness, nutrition, food and recipes, pregnancy health, beauty and wellness, preparing for birth, postpartum, baby care and the styles and fashions dressing moms-to-be.

"It's going to be the most comprehensive pregnancy periodical on the market," said Majestic Media Publisher Tony Golden. "We've taken a unique 'mom to mom' approach that will enlighten, entertain and energize parents-to-be, new mothers and those who care for them."

According to Gartrell-Judd, the power of the pregnant woman will be integral to ePregnancy's editorial direction. The first issue -- which spotlights Liza Elliott-Ramirez as founder of Expecting Models, a talent agency representing expectant and nursing models -- will set the tone for the pregnant woman who is "doing it all," while still preparing to be a mother.

"With career pursuits and other compelling reasons which can separate families over distances, many women no longer live near their own mothers in today's modern society," Gartrell-Judd said. "ePregnancy will help prepare moms-to-be with all the strategies and insights that their own mothers might give."

Majestic Media has two new titles under its helm, including soon-to-be launched About You Magazine. Majestic Media is based in Park City, Utah, with offices in Atlanta, San Francisco, Columbus, Ohio, and Los Angeles. The company behind the ePregnancy.com website, Myria Media, also publishes other websites targeted at parents and women including Myria, Chef Mom and GeoParent.
