Sheila Weller

Sheila Weller is the senior contributing editor at Glamour, writes on social history for Vanity Fair, was a contributing editor at New York, and has written for Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, Redbook, Ms., and the New York Times Book Review. She is also the author of six books—two of which are New York Times bestsellers: Dancing at Ciro's, a family memoir, and Marrying the Hangman, which is about the 1987 New York murder of Harpers assistant and fiction writer Diane Whitmore Pikul. Her 1995 account of the marriage of O. J. and Nicole Brown Simpson, Raging Heart, gave the case a major prosecution witness, was entered into the trial, and was at the top of the national news upon its publication. And her lauded Saint of Circumstance revealed five additional victims of "preppy rapist" Alex Kelly. For her magazine work, Weller is the winner of six New York Newswomen's Club Front Page Awards. She also won a 2006 Exceptional Merit in Media Award from the National Women's Political Caucus and a third place award from the National Association of Black Journalists for her reporting in Mississippi, for Glamour, on the fortieth anniversary of the Schwerner-Chaney-Goodman murders.
