Jeff Miller is a zine publisher and writer. He began writing in 1996 with an Ottawa zine called Otaku, which later changed its name to Ghost Pine[2] following his move to Montreal in 1999. It has sold over 10,000 copies.[3] He writes largely about punk and other sub-cultures.
The best of his works were compiled into a book, Ghost Pine: All Stories True by Invisible Publishing in 2010.[4] It was on the Montreal Gazette's top-10 bestseller's list for three weeks,[5] and won in the Best English Book at Montreal's 2010 Expozine Alternative Press Awards.[4]
Miller was born and raised in Ottawa,[6] where he began writing on the hardcore punk scene in the mid-90s.[2] He lived in Montreal on and off from 1999 to the late 2000s and currently resides on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore.[7]
His work has been included in anthologies like The Art of Trespassing,[8][2] and he has embarked upon small US and Canadian reading tours with zine writers Cindy Crabb, Erica Lyle, and Aaron Cometbus.[9][10] He is also involved in the writing workshop Soulgazers and speaks at events like Expozine.[11][2]
