Albany, GA-native Michael Brooks moved to Savannah in 2005 and immediately fell in love with the Hostess City’s serene beauty, unique charm and vibrant characters. In February of 2006, he launched The South magazine—an award-winning bi-monthly publication that, in Brooks’ words, “attempts to capture Savannah’s quirkiness” through compelling photography and editorial. “I wanted our readers to know more about Savannah and what makes it one of the most desired destinations in the world,” he says. With a readership of more than 80,000 and subscriptions in all 50 states, The South serves as the go-to barometer for trends, style, entertainment and information on all things Southern. “I have the opportunity to meet so many of they city’s ‘connectors’ and behind-the-scenes folks who make this city run,” Brooks says. “It is a rare opportunity that one has to see the inner-workings of such a creative environment.”
