Miller described Bookswork Press as a natural outgrowth of his several decades of experience publishing bestselling fiction and nonfiction, including such authors as Caroline Kennedy, David Halberstam, Randy Pausch, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Michael J. Fox, and Mitch Albom at Hyperion (the company he founded for Disney in 1990 and ran until 2008) and Oprah Winfrey, President Joe Biden, Matthew Perry, Brad Meltzer, Glennon Doyle, Leigh Bardugo, Liane Moriarty, and S.A. Cosby at Flatiron Books (the company he founded for Macmillan in 2013 and ran until 2024). He also was the founder of HarperStudio at HarperCollins and was group publisher of Workman Publishing.
Miller said, "I'm really looking forward to working in depth with authors and publishers, doing what I love best, which is helping new ideas make their way into the world."
