About David Miles: David Miles, along with his wife Stephanie, is the founder of Bushel & Peck, a children’s publisher based in California. In just a few years since launching its first titles, Bushel & Peck has become one of the fastest-growing independent publishers in America. Today, their authors now include some of the most recognizable names in the industry. In addition to their growing list of starred reviews and awards, Bushel & Peck is growing a social mission: for every book they sell, they pledge to donate one to kids in need, with that pledge now reaching over 300,000 books. David himself is the author or illustrator of dozens of children’s books that have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. He graduated from BYU in business and was named the general business Outstanding Graduate of his class. Originally from Pennsylvania, he now lives in California with his wife, son, and too many beagles. HOWs (Hands-On Workshops) are 1.5-hour, more in-depth classes during the afternoon breakout hours.
