“Judith Regan doesn’t want to be photographed, but she is ready to talk,” says Brendan Bernhard, and in his interview of Regan for The LA Weekly, she explains why she’s moving her HarperCollins imprint, ReganBook, to Los Angeles. As Bernhard recounts, “New York has turned into a city that’s better suited to bankers, Wall Street lawyers and the superrich than it is to publishers.” When Bernard suggests “some people . . . might say that Regan’s hypercapitalistic style of publishing — recent best-selling titles include How To Make Love Like a Porn Star, Juiced and Sex, Sex, and More Sex — is part of the problem,” Regan “snaps”: “Then they’re completely uninformed. Most of the people who write about the publishing business don’t know anything about the publishing business. And let me just tell you, it’s called the publishing BUSINESS! I’m not running a philanthropic library, okay? If you came in to interview anyone else, in any other kind of business, whether they were selling shoes, dresses or apartments, would you take issue with the fact that they did it successfully?”
