Leslie "LAM" Miller, CEO and co-founder of Girl Friday Productions (a female founded and led firm) has been democratizing publishing for nearly twenty years. A true pioneer in the space of indie and hybrid publishing, she's passionate about educating authors, putting power back in the hands of creators, and shifting the power in publishing for good.  

​

A working mom who saw major gaps in the industry, she built a business to solve her own needs: among them, radically flexible work schedule, better pay, full-time benefits for ALL, and more transparency from leadership. She's a warrior bent on exploding corporate culture and gendered straightjackets and making work an accepting haven for every human.
