Glad you asked. I’m Joel, and I’ve been a professional editor and writer for the last twenty years. Today I’m the chief product officer of Full Focus, overseeing a crack team of writers, editors, and business coaches. We produce books, podcasts, courses, coaching content, and the wonderful Full Focus Planner. Before that I served as vice president of editorial and acquisitions for Thomas Nelson Publishers, an imprint of HarperCollins.
This site is my personal website to collect various projects, such as ‘Bad’ Books of the Bible, a nichey podcast on the Apocrypha, and Miller’s Book Review 📚, a weekly newsletter in which I review books I’m reading.
I’ve written a few books of my own, including The Revolutionary Paul Revere, a biography of you-know-who; Lifted by Angels, a look at angels through ancient art and literature; and Bad Trip, a conservative case for drug legalization. “Strictly whatever,” as Harry Manx would say. My work has been described as “powerful” (Washington Times), “lively” (World), and “well-researched and bitingly written” (Publishers Weekly).
I’ve written for Reason, The Washington Post, American Spectator, National Review Online, FoxNews.com, and RealClearReligion. Previously, I blogged about religion for both Patheos and Ancient Faith. Reason adapted portions of my book Size Matters for a cover story.
