Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and English professor Jane Smiley will be featured Feb. 11 on the CBS television program Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood.

CBS is broadcasting the segment as a tie to the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 12, said CBS producer Lucy Scott. Sunday Morning airs locally at 8 a.m. on channel 8. The segment profiles Smiley and looks at her career as a writer. Smiley's books include A Thousand Acres, for which she won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and Moo, a nominee for the 1995 National Book Critics Circle Award.
