Self-publishing in the news

Spotted these two articles about self-publishing on major news sites recently:

BBC – Do you have the right stuff to be a novelist
Guardian – Piracy is yesterday’s worry for today’s ‘artisan authors’

Interesting to see more of these types of articles in recent months. It seems that not just ebooks, but self-publishing itself is attracting mainstream attention and is now being seen as a valid form of publishing, not just a digital extension of ‘vanity publishing’. Not good news for the big old publishing houses.
