Lindsey Hall and Leigh Cohn are married and the authors of several books on eating disorders and recovery topics. Among their best-known titles are Bulimia: A Guide to Recovery, Anorexia Nervosa: A Guide to Recovery (Lindsey and Monika Ostroff), and Full Lives: Women Who Have Freed Themselves from Food & Weight Obsession, all of which have been translated into other languages, such as French, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese. Their company, Gürze Books, also publishes books related to eating disorders by a wide array of respected authors.

Leigh, who has an M.A.T. from Northwestern University (1975) is Executive Editor of Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention, a peer review newsletter for clinicians, and is a past president of Publishers Marketing Association.
