Just a few years ago, self-publishing was synonymous with a rather less pleasant term: vanity publishing. The last resort of those unable to find a publisher, it entailed paying - rather than being paid - for a book to be produced and printed.

Such publishers still exist, and are popular with, for example, people wishing to publish their memoirs in an attractive book format; Amazon's CreateSpace is one of the more popular options. In recent years, though, the rise of e-publishing has revolutionised the market - and made writing just that bit less of a sure-fire route to penury.
