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. Despite this, she has managed to make quite a successful writing career for herself. She published her first novel “The Good Mother” in 1986 and by 2020, had more than eleven titles to her name. Miller is also the author of a short story collection titled “Inventing the Abbots” that she published in 1947. Over the years, her novels have been Best Book nominees for the Bailey Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Oprah’s Book Club.
