Wild Irresponsible Predictions for 2014

December 31, 2013

During our last agency Facebook chat of the year, I asked all the agents for their predictions for 2014. We came up with some doozies. I want to share some of them with you here:

Gordon: The death of mass market paperback.

Emily: There will be some class action lawsuits against “assisted self publishing” organizations.

Laurie: Amazon will buy Barnes & Noble.

Jen: Print books will not die, despite hundreds of blog posts and articles to the contrary!

Emily: The New Adult category will diminish and die because no one really understands what it is.

Jen: We will see an increase in the number and stature of hybrid authors.

What are YOUR predictions for publishing in 2014?
