Bob Miller
President & Publisher

Bob started cello lessons two years ago, but hasn’t practiced once since starting up HarperStudio in April 2008.

Debbie Stier
SVP, Associate Publisher

Debbie is the only person she knows who will admit that running the NYC marathon was the biggest waste of time, not to mention incredibly painful. She firmly believes in the value of a candle-lit family dinner, but when she’s on her own she’ll settle for a bowl of cereal at the counter while going through mail. Her idea of heaven is a stack of New Yorkers on a beach with a Scrabble partner who’s not afraid of losing a silly game. Biggest pet peeve: People who say it can’t be done.

Julia Cheiffetz
Senior Editor

Julia is the only person from Buffalo she knows who has never been to a Bills game. She lives in Brooklyn where she can be found reading poetry and watching the E! Entertainment channel at all hours. She considers the film Anchorman a great work of art.

Assistant Editor

Although a California girl at heart, Katie made the big leap to New York in 2008 to join the publishing world and hasn’t looked back since. When she’s not busy catching a few winks, you might find her wandering through the endless stacks at the Strand Book Store or getting lost in the maze-like streets of Chinatown.

Kathryn Ratcliffe-Lee
Marketing Assistant

Kathryn is from New Jersey and exists in a permanent state of needing a haircut. She has an unhealthy obsession with Polaroid film but never has her camera when she needs it. As a personal rule, she will always choose a birthday card that sings.
