Who's Who at Yankee
(page 2 of 3)
Eileen T. Terrill, managing editor of Yankee Magazine: Eileen is a lifelong New Englander and has been with Yankee for five years. She is the magazine's primary fact-checker, copy-edits all material, and serves as a liaison among the editorial, art, and production departments. Before coming to Yankee, she was an editor of consumer and trade high-tech publications. A former biology teacher and psychiatric social worker, she has also edited and written for middle-school history and world cultures magazines.
Polly Bannister, senior editor, home and garden, of Yankee Magazine: Polly has been a Yankee editor and a favorite of readers for more than 20 years. She brings a deep appreciation of architecture, furnishings, design, antiques, fine art, crafts, and cooking to her work. Throughout her travels she has cultivated an extensive network of inside sources, including craftsmen and other experts, who help her discover the practical information and inspiring features that make homes in New England unique. Polly has also edited two cookbooks and four travel books. She is continually inspired by New England's beautiful and diverse landscape -- from cranberry bogs, sandy beaches, and granite-topped mountains to thriving cities, white clapboard houses on village greens, and red-brick mill towns.
Annie B. Copps, senior editor, food, of Yankee Magazine: Annie oversees the magazine's food coverage, both as an editor and as a contributor of feature stories and columns. Prior to joining Yankee, she served as food editor of Boston Magazine and features editor of Concierge and was also widely known for her work as the host of WBZ radio's Connoisseurs' Corner and WTKK's Table Talk with Annie Copps. As a television producer, she made her mark with two popular PBS series, Cooking with Todd English and Julia Child's Kitchen -- where she was an assistant to the legendary grande dame of French cuisine. She appears frequently as a guest on NBC's Today show and other TV and radio shows. Before beginning her media career, Annie honed her skills as a cook at several notable Boston-area restaurants, including Olives, Jasper's, The Harvest, and Michela's. She also writes Eating New England, a blog about New England food.
Heather Marcus, photo editor of Yankee Magazine: Heather has been with Yankee since 1999. She works closely with a large group of contributing photographers, assigning stories as well as developing new talent for the magazine. One of her favorite photo essays that appeared in the magazine is Alexandra De Steiguer's work on the Isles of Shoals. Her initial passion for the medium came from a high school course in black-and-white photography, which led her later to teach photography basics to young students during college. She has a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Drew University. She grew up in New Hampshire and has a great appreciation for the people and landscape of New England. She is continually amazed at the great visual opportunities the region affords.
