That didn’t take long.

Only a day after Coastal Living editor-in-chief Steele Marcoux resigned from the Time Inc. title, it was revealed she is heading back to Hearst-owned Country Living, where she was an executive editor two years ago before jumping ship.

This time around, she will be style director, overseeing all market work, home content, styling direction and special projects.

Sources say the jump was in the works for several weeks but Hearst only announced it Friday. Both Coastal Living and Country Living are based in Birmingham, Ala.

Time Inc. CEO Rich Battista said in late July that as part of the publishing giant’s ongoing restructuring, three lifestyle titles were on the block: Coastal Living, Sunset and Golf.

But this week, Battista said Time was reversing itself on Coastal Living and intended to hang onto it after all. Marcoux had already resigned. She starts the new gig on Oct. 23. Sid Evans, a group editor of a unit which includes Southern Living, will oversee Coastal Living’s edit.
