Ask The Expert For July 9th

Does publishing my own work with a POD publisher prevent a traditional publisher from working with that particular piece in the future?

Traditional publishers are only too happy to allow authors to take the financial risk of testing the market to prove their book can be successful before giving them a contract. You can read the details of some of those authors here:
