We sent out the call for what to expect in 2007, and the answers are still trickling in. Steve Clackson thinks that the WSJ was onto something with his story about Vanguard Press, saying that it may "set a trend," as will "other forms of self-publishing and POD." More humor-laden predictions came in by way of Michael Adamick, who expects to see the James Frey tome IF I WROTE IT on shelves any day now, adding "do I even have to tell you who the publisher will be?"

Speaking of the Lady Regan, Jeffery McGraw of the August Agency has an intriguing thought, saying that Regan might actually revisit the ghost of her past: The National Enquirer. Specifically, that "David Pecker (or someone of his ilk) will hire Judith Regan to do for his book publishing endeavors what he intended Bonnie Fuller to do for his celebrity tabloid."

As for actual publishing trends, McGraw puts his tongue in his cheek and suggests that since chick lit's dead and paranormals may well be in the next year or so, what about putting them together for...drumroll....Choose Your Own Adventure In Paranormal Erotica. "Think about it," McGraw says. "Totally safe sex. No contraception necessary. No morning after regrets. And YOU get to choose whether you lose your virginity to the ghost of Xmas past or present. Deal or no deal?" Hey, it could work for some people!
