In addition to collaborating with Dan Poynter on the book titled U-Publish.com,

communication technologies by major print and broadcast media,
including AP, NPR, UPI, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street
Journal, The Washington Times, the nationally-syndicated
"Ask Heloise" radio show and many others.
Snow is known as one of the earliest traditional book publishers to embrace e-Books, print-on-demand and new media that empower writers to reach readers more directly.
In 2008, he was named a Senior Fellow of the Society for New Communications Research (Palo Alto, California, USA), a global think tank dedicated to the advanced study of new and emerging media. In 2009, he was elected to a two year term on the board of directors of the Independent Book Publishers Association, serving thousands of publishing firms across North America and around the world.
He has appeared as a speaker and moderator at many national publishing events such as Book Expo America, IBPA's "Publishing University" and the North American Publishing Company's "PrintMedia" expos.
As a journalist, Snow has served as a contributing editor for BookTech: The Magazine for Publishers and written scores of articles for a variety of print and electronic media, including Publishers Weekly, IBPA's award-winning The Independent magazine, and The New Communications Review. He is currently the editor / publisher of a new worldwide e-Book series, Self-Publisher's Monthly.
