Synopsis

When The Quest opens, Emily is living in a penthouse on the beach in Los Angeles. Her long-term boyfriend's start-up was just acquired for 482 million dollars, and she's selling what Time Magazine has hailed as the revolutionary new treatment for cancer. On a journey of extremes, she runs a  pack of 20-something opportunists, top gunning in private jets and languishing in international, hedonistic soirees. But when this volatile hamster wheel of detox+retox spins out of control. Down to 93-lbs, she finds herself on the cliff’s edge of a very expensive overdose.

Enter grandfather alchemist-intuitive, James, a cross between the Dali Lama and Don Quixote, who shocks Emily into a form of healing that challenges her very livelihood. James does an MRI on her soul, destroying molecules on their way to manifesting into serious illness and initiating her into a paradigm where creative women evolve into a force for massive multidimensional wellness. By walking beside and sometimes a little ahead of the reader, The Quest gives a brutally honest account of love and loss, despair and triumph with a unique twist that will shift how readers understand the elusive truth of where happiness really lives. 

Sales arguments

  • The Quest is a cross between the addictive indulgence of reality t.v. and a mind-blowing documentary.
  • It's the story that leads you out of the looping confusion of feeling like you aren't enough and into the wilds of yes! yes! Yes!. Led by Emily with a following of more than 23.5k on Instagram and growing community of women seeking adventure.
  • It's more than a book. It a movement that shows you have to lift the coffin off the patriarchy and walk into the world of your own magnificent making! Emily demonstrates this in her popular Sisterhood Retreats and 1:1 Coaching.

Similar titles

  • While combining the vulnerability of Glennon Doyle’s Love Warrior: A Memoir ( Flatiron Books; Reprint edition, September 12, 2017) with the smarts and sass of #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso (Portfolio; Reprint edition (September 29, 2015)
  • and the humor and spiritual accessibility of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love, the memoir also provides the reader with (Riverhead Books (January 30, 2007),
  • a compendium of extraordinary wisdom that rivals Carlos Castaneda’s journey into the world of the modern mystic.

Audience

The reader for The Quest is the contemporary woman, navigating life in North America’s urban landscapes. The pre-actualized 27-47 year old, she’s checked off her boxes, but the results are just shy of electrifying. Part of the generation of women who came-of-age with Sex and the City, she watches Big Little Lies, reads Vogue, Bustle and Buzzfeed, is somewhat obsessive about social media and tries to chase the look, the career, the scene, the guy and ultimately marriage and kids, but is secretly starving for someone to show her that life is more than a glorified beauty pageant.

Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.
