  • Really happy and honored to have been invited to write about my experiences as a hybrid press (also called “third way” publishing) author. I always jump at the chance to talk about Booktrope and so, the article “Hybrid Legacy” came to be. Ms. Miller is the author of the fabulous novel OUR ORBIT.
