Expert Profile: D. Patrick Miller

Expertise:  I am an independent self-publisher who sold three projects to major New York houses before starting my own company. I provide editorial services to a major literary agency in Manhattan and work regularly with authors at all levels of expertise. I can answer questions like these: What does "independent publishing" mean? Should I publish myself or use a service like XLibris? What is "print on demand" publishing? How do I publish myself on the Web? What are the best resources for learning about publishing? How do I find a literary agent? What are my chances of getting published by a major New York firm?

What do you like about this subject?  I have been an "independent publisher" in one form or another since grade school. While I have also been published by major New York houses, my heart still lies in the "do it yourself" realm. With the advent of the Internet and new printing technologies, publishing your own writing is now more practical than ever.
