Rachel Hardage Barrett Named Editor of Country Living

Rachel Hardage Barrett has been named editor-in-chief of Country Living, which is moving editorial operations to Birmingham, Alabama. Publishing and marketing services will continue to be based in New York.

Barrett comes to Country Living from Southern Living, where she served as executive editor. Prior to that she spent seven years at Real Simple.

“Rachel has a terrific feel for everything Country Living covers — homes that epitomize easy living, comforting, original recipes, unique crafts, objects and accessories from undiscovered sources — and working with her team and an incredibly plugged-in network of scouts around the country, her vision will surprise and delight readers on every page,” said Hearst Magazines’ editorial director, Ellen Levine, in a statement.

Barrett is succeeding Sarah Gray Miller, who — according to Hearst — has decided to leave the magazine.
