Joanna was born and raised in Cambridge, UK. She studied English at Oxford and later returned to the University to train as a teacher.

After ten years in education, she set up an award-winning poetry gift business. During this time, she wrote thousands of poems to order and her rhyming verse was filmed by the BBC.

Quotes by Joanna Miller (?)

“but these women! It is no surprise that the noun friend is derived from an ancient root word meaning to love, that it is etymologically bound to the word free. These marvelous women give her the confidence that what she is doing is right.”
― Joanna Miller, The Eights
