We were on location at the SelfPub BookExpo this weekend in New York City. The first interview subject we had lined up was Dan Poynter, who is arguably the father of modern self-publishing. With his first self-published title in the early 80s, through his continuing works that detail the technology and the options that are available for authors, he may know more about indie publishing than anyone other professional. Mark Coker from Smashwords is one of his biggest fans and always speaks very highly of him. Dan spoke with Good e-Reader about the terminology involved and the stigma that both the industry and the authors themselves still place on the independently published author.
