Reviews of MIJ
"The Miracle in July is probably the most badass use of Wordpress I’ve ever seen. It's a modern love..." – Anthony Volodkin of HypeM.com
"The incorporation of multimedia creates an atmosphere that comes as close as any I have experienced to truly getting inside the mind of the writer." – ReadingLocal.com
"This blend of story telling with multimedia is ushering a new generation ... and Michelle is leading the charge." – Apture
"All links are worked into the sentence structure. Consider: "Becca came to [sit down by the fire] next to me..." In this passage, "sit down by the fire" is a link to a song by The Veils. Clicking the link starts the embedded song, and also brings up a very small box that has links to The Veils on Amazon, a Scribd box with song lyrics, The Veils official web page, and also a link to their MySpace page. That's an impressive amount of information tucked neatly into this story." – Conversations in Marketing
"Sometimes you happen upon something that gives you a little bit of a shiver down your spine...It's not a blog. It's an experience." – Cami Kaos of Strange Love Live
"It's MORE than just a story you go to a website and read. There's pictures. Video. Music. All embedded into the story, and it truly makes it come alive. You are instantly immersed into the sounds, the images, the feel of the story. And since much of it takes place in Portland, there's links to local places, and events, and people." – OurPDX.com
"The Miracle in July, is one part story telling, one part media experiment, and one part reverse engineering of the publishing industry." – TheAbundantArtist.com
