Profile Information
- Something About Me and My Book:
- The Independent Publishing Magazine, launched in late 2007, is an online magazine providing essential information, resources and reviews of author solutions services and the future of publishing in a new digital age. In the beginning the exclusive focus was specifically self-publishing and POD (Print-on-demand) technology.
Over five years the magazine has established itself as the primary point for independent authors developing an author and publishing brand as well as some of the most insightful articles on the publishing industry.
Mick Rooney is researcher and editor at The Independent Publishing Magazine and owner of TIPM Media (Publishing Consultancy).
He was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1968. He has been writing fiction for nearly thirty years and has published nine books. His first book, Arcadia, was published in 1990. It is a poetic novella of the mind and was followed by The Eternal, Hybrid, Thais, and a book of collected shorter fiction in 1995, entitled, Oceanic.
Academy was Mick Rooney’s first full length novel. His second, Filigree & Shadow, was published in November 2008. His last novel, The Memory of Trees, was published by Book Republic, an imprint of Maverick House Publishing, in September, 2011.
He is a publishing consultant and has written many informative and illuminating articles in print magazines and online, including Writers' Forum, Publetariat, Self-Publishing Review and Publishing Basics about the changing and complex world of the publishing industry. In 2010, he published To Self-Publishing or Not to Self-Publish with Troubador Publishing.
He is currently editor and researcher at The Independent Publishing Magazine and writes for the only UK magazine dedicated to self-publishing - The Self-Publishing Magazine.
