Remember when we told you about The Good Men Project's writing contest, and how it was a search for a few good men who want to contribute to a book of essays about what it means to be a man in America? Well, they finally have a winner. His name is Perry Glasser, and he'll receive $1,000, as well as have his essay, “Iowa Black Dirt,” published in The Good Men Project anthology, coming this November.

Mad Men creator Matt Wiener and Memories of a Geisha novelist Arthur Golden were among the judges, and will also contribute to the book.
