Lois Dwight Cole Taylor (1903 – 20 July 1979) was an American editor and writer of children's literature.
She also wrote as Anne Lattin, Nancy Dudley, Lynn Avery and Caroline Arnett.
Peggy introduced her to Turney Allan Taylor, a bachelor journalist, who later became Cole's husband.
Mitchell later said that "John and Lois are the only persons I ever discussed it with in any detail" before she gave the manuscript to Latham.
Finally, in April 1936, Macmillan produced the first printing of Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.
