Create-your-own 2011 publishing schedual

I once joked that, to preserve the almighty Canon, the NX-01 could be recommissioned Dauntless at the founding of the Federation.
 
Sure, I'll bite...

A purely selfish wish list for 2011...

ENT - Romulan War Part II
VOY - 3rd Post-Destiny
VAN - Book 6
DS9 - 2377 & 2378 (250 pgs. per year)
DS9 - 2379 & 2380 (250 pgs. per year)
TNG - Post-Typhon
TTN - Post-Typhon
AVT - Post-Typhon
DS9 - Post-Typhon
ENT - 3rd Romulan War
Plus one big picture book similar to AotF and Singular Destiny
And to show that I'm not too selfish, round it all out with two TOS books, a Lost Era, Two JJTreks, and a NF for the fans of those books.
 
Taking into account timescales for author turnaround (i.e., so there's enough time to write the things after their already contracted work), I would go with:

01/11 - Paths of Disharmony (already scheduled)
02/11 - VOY - Full Circle #3 by Kirsten Beyer
03/11 - The Millennium Bloom by Mike Barr
04/11 - USS Kelvin novel; Crucible TPB
05/11 - Mirror Universe novel, being the culmination of the Memory Omega storyline which the novels and short stories appear to have been building to, preferably by David Mack
06/11 - Vanguard #6 by Wardilmore
07/11 - MMPB reprint of 2010 New Frontier release, and a new TPB of the same series (unless the 2010 release has been delayed).
08/11 - Post-Typhon Pact ASD-analogue, by KRAD
09/11 - DS9-R continuation (post-TSK, pre-RBOE)
10/11 - Titan #8; ENT - The Romulan War, Book 2
11/11 - ST09 novel, preferably David McIntee's Indistinguishable from Magic; Myriad Universes #4
12/11 - Another ST09 novel; Out of the Cocoon

Unlikely - for one thing it was built from an editorially-generated list of requirements, which are the same list that Greg Cox's book is built from,. Which means they'd probably be too similar.

(It's for this reason that I've not posted the synopsis either here or on LJ - I don't want to risk spoilering, however tangentially, Greg's book)

Besides, I'd really, really, rather write Planet Of The Tribbles.
 
My top 10 choices for IDW miniseries:

An April series
A Pike series
A 2nd-5-Year-Mission series
An Enterprise-A w/Saavik series
An Excelsior series
A USS Okinawa w/Sisko series
An Enterprise-E Dominion War series
A DS9-R series
A Titan series
An Aventine series
