I had the pleasure of working with Katherine Cobbs for several years, when she was overseeing the Southern Living book program. She's a terrific editor, a passionate advocate for her authors, and a great collaborator. She cares deeply about editorial quality, and she's relentless in her pursuit of the right image, the right title, the right recipe, or the right phrase - whatever it takes to make a book better. During her tenure she elevated the Southern Living book program to new levels of creative excellence and commercial success, and I have no doubt she could do the same for any editorial organization. From Rick Bragg to Elizabeth Heiskell to Matt Moore to Todd Richards, she has a whole stable of successful Southern authors who sing her praises, and it's easy to see why. She's a rare talent with a track record to prove it.
