The Independent Publishing Magazine The Independent Publishing Magazine was an online magazine for independent authors and publishers. Our readership is both authors and industry professionals.

The Independent Publishing Magazine (TIPM) launched in late 2007 by Mick Rooney. TIPM covers many aspects of independent publishing, including: self-publishing, hybrid publishing, traditional publishing, book marketing, technology and news. TIPM provides an objective view on global publishing from the perspective of authors who want to publish their books outside mainstream channels. Over the past

20 years, the stigma and limitations of self-publishing have eroded, evening the playing field, so that savvy independent authors and publishers have opportunities to attract readers. Readers’ access to good books is no longer controlled by a few gatekeepers. TIPM was purchased by Mark Levine in late 2024. TIPM will continue to cover the individuals and companies in the independent publishing space that are creating opportunities for authors to succeed.

Our Story

This online magazine, launched in late 2007 provides essential information, resources and reviews of author solutions services. In the beginning our exclusive focus was self-publishing and POD (Print-on-demand) technology. However, over the past two years, with the increasing and rapid changes in the publishing industry, The Independent Publishing Magazine has focused more often on self-publishing and author solutions services within the book and publishing industry. Slowly but surely the stigmas and limitations of self-publishing are becoming less of a challenge to the savvy independent author and this path to publishing has grown far more viable if the author is equipped with a basic but sound knowledge of book formatting, cover design, author and book-branding, and marketing and promotion know-how. While the core focus of The Independent Publishing Magazine will always demonstrate an objective view on global publishing from the perspective of authors looking at publishing their books outside of mainstream channels. TIPM review all paid-publishing services offered by author solutions services, printers, and more recently, paid-publishing services from large publishing houses like Thomas Nelson and Harlequin. TIPM provides articles on the changing word of publishing, with a particular focus on digital publishing and the latest innovations and models of business operating in the industry. The magazine is intended for authors and publishers alike.
