Ryan Smith Co-Authors New Donald Miller Book, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years"
By DAVID ARCHESTNER
Published: February 9, 2010 (20 minutes ago)
Donald Miller's new book "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" is his first release in nearly two years. Anticipation has been high, however, just before press date, the book-world was hit with a surprise. Donald Miller has a co-author, the as yet unknown Ryan Smith. It is uncommon for Donald to share writing credentials with another author, especially an unknown, but in this case he felt the collaboration made for a better book
"Ryan Smith added so much critical feedback" Miller said "and added to the text so gracefully that by the time we were done, I felt compelled to let the secret out. Essentially, I had a coauthor." Ryan Smith had signed a nondisclosure agreement and could not talk about the book, even to close friends or family. On Don's decision to share credit, Ryan Smith comments:
"I've been helping Don write books for years, so it's about time I get some credit. It's not hard work. I practically wrote the new book for him in my sleep."
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years hits shelves on September 29th. A 66-city tour will support the book. It is unknown whether Ryan Smith will join Don on stage during book readings, but we can only hope to meet this burgeoning literary sensation in person.
