J. P. Miller is an Atlanta-based writer of numerous books for young readers. As she tells Colin, she served in the military for many years before joining the forest service. Eventually, she decided she wanted to write fulltime. She hasn’t regretted that decision. And she’s been prolific, penning titles in the Leaders Like Us and Black Lives Matters series. Her latest book is about Juneteenth, and she has another one coming out soon on HBCUs. She and Colin talk about her path to writing, her discipline, and some hard lessons she’s learned about publishing along the way.
