ⓘ About Sue Miller

Sue Miller is an American bestselling literary and fiction author with several novels to her name. She loves to describe herself as a lover, mother teacher, and confidant. Miller is also a calming presence that describes herself she is an exemplary person whose trust and authority are inviolable. However, she has asserted that she has several weaknesses she admits to with a candor that most authors would not. For instance, she has said that she is not a daily grinder that boasts thousands of words churned out every day. Instead, Miller works best when she is in a state of depression and boredom which is usually what banishes her to her desk. This is because she always experiences a nearly paralyzing anxiety whenever she wants to start writing the manuscript for a new title.
