Mitzi Miller is a best-selling author, celebrated journalist, and veteran magazine editor. After almost fifteen years in print media, in March 2015 she made a successful leap from publishing to television and film when she accepted the position of Head of Development at Rainforest Entertainment. Since joining the production company, she has sold multiple television pilots including the popular BET drama series "The Quad," which is currently in its second season.

Prior to the transition, Miller served as editor-in-chief of two of the country’s premiere African-American magazines, Ebony and Jet. She is the third individual and only woman to hold both positions.

The Connecticut native has co-authored several popular books including "The Vow: A Novel," "The Angry Black Woman’s Guide to Life" and the "Hotlanta" young adult series. In January 2015, Lifetime Network debuted the television movie With This Ring which was based on "The Vow: A Novel." The popular film was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress, Writing, and Direction categories.

A frequent public speaker, in addition to keynote appearances at colleges and universities nationwide, Miller has been a featured guest on several national radio and television programs, including ABC’s "Good Morning America", TV One’s "News One Now" with Roland Martin, and CNN’s "CNN Newsroom."

For her dedication, Miller’s accolades include recognition among The Root 100 honorees for 2013 and 2014, Crain’s Chicago Business Magazine’s 2011 40 Under 40 roster and induction into the Florida A&M University Alumni Gallery of Distinction.
