About Sam J. Miller

I\'m Sam, and I live to tell stories. As a senior copywriter on the editorial team of Publicis Groupe\'s mysterious/marvelous Marcel platform, I craft fun and provocative copy that has driven record-setting engagement and helped make the app a huge industry success story.As a science fiction novelist, I’ve won some of the most prestigious awards in the genre, gotten interviewed by Scott Simon for Weekend Edition on NPR, and been called a “must-read” by Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, and O: The Oprah Magazine. My work has been translated into over a dozen languages, and the French newspaper Le Soir called me “a rising star of science fiction in the U.S… and soon the world.” I\'ve even fulfilled every gay boy writer\'s wildest dream, and written the cover story for Vogue Italia.Fighting for a better world is at the heart of all my storytelling (even/especially the stories about ghosts and shape-shifting aliens). For over a decade, I ran copy and content strategy for nonprofits and political causes. My campaigns got hashtags trending, secured best-ever monthly revenue, earned high-profile coverage in outlets like the New York Times, and led to passage of ambitious legislation.
