Milli Brown is the founder, CEO, and publisher behind Brown Books Publishing Group and The Agency at Brown Books, one of the first publishing‑backed PR teams built specifically for authors. She launched Brown Books to give writers a fairer, more author‑first way to publish, and created The Agency when she saw that even strong books stalled without focused publicity and marketing support. Today, her experience on both the publishing and promotion sides means the PR team you’re meeting here is led by someone who understands the entire journey, from manuscript to media interview, and built this agency to close that gap for authors.
Joanna Stone is Managing Director of PR at The Agency at Brown Books, with 20+ years in publishing, media, and public relations. She leads integrated author campaigns that blend traditional publicity with YouTube, podcasts, social, and email to turn books into long-term visibility and authority. Named one of the Top 50 Women Leaders of Dallas, she also created the Icarus AI Marketing Masterclass to help authors and brands use AI to scale thought leadership.
