The Surprising Decision That Transformed My Journey as an Author – Inside Chris Emery’s Choice of a Publishing Partner
Having spent my career building high-performing teams, I don’t want to hand marketing away—it’s something I want to build.
A Different Definition of Success
Throughout this process, I kept asking myself one question: “Which decision best serves my book’s story?” Success for The Secret Life of Jacqueline will never be measured solely by sales figures. Of course, I hope the book reaches a broad audience. Every author hopes for that. But if readers close the final chapter with a deeper appreciation for the courage, sacrifice, complexity, and humanity of one fascinating woman whose story might otherwise have been forgotten, I will have accomplished something that cannot be measured by royalty statements alone. That perspective has guided every major decision throughout this project. It should also inform the final publishing decision.
