From the Hollywood Hills to the Amazon Jungle, one woman's search for enough.
The Quest is a brutally honest account of love and loss, despair, and triumph that will shift how readers understand the elusive truth of where happiness really lives.
Ended
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.
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.
"Emily Pereira’s message is utter wisdom bomb for me. Her work has the power to truly set people free to be their fullest creative selves. She has been a huge contributor to my own creative evolution." —KC Baker, Founder of the School for the Well Spoken Woman and WomanSpeak, aid to Hillary Clinton’s speech writing team, and speaker at the UN..
"Emily has radical insights for women. A true leader gracefully walking her talk, Emily’s wisdom has the possibility to change the way women relate with themselves and each other." —Claire McClung, Marketing Director at Lily Pulitzer; Philadelphia.
"Emily also has an uncanny ability to see other people's gifts when they're struggling to recognize them for themselves. She has saw light in me at a time when I couldn’t see it for myself and I am forever grateful."—Ashleigh Erwin, Co-writer and Associate Producer of The Disaster Artist; Los Angeles.
For fifteen years, Emily Pereira worked as a senior sales consultant with one of the world’s leading Fortune 100 companies where she earned an International Sales Excellence Award, Seven National Sales Awards and over a dozen Regional Awards. When a dramatic breakdown becomes a spectacular breakthrough, Emily began speaking worldwide about the culture’s dangerous addiction to perfection. Her words hit a nerve.
Emily's raw vulnerable storytelling laced with mindblowing ahas about women’s empowerment have reached over 5 million people worldwide, landing her coveted speaking engagements at the executive offices of Wanderlust, Summit Outside, Assemblage Nomad, H.E.R. global network, Spotify and many A+ podcasts. She has written for some of the biggest media outlets of our generation and now runs an international consulting enterprise of high-achieving women. She has founded an international retreat and wellness center Costa Rica.

If the name sounds familiar, it's because it's a variation of the name of the publishing company used in the television series Castle. For those unfamiliar with the premise, the show featured a mystery writer who follows a police detective for research and winds up writing an entire series of books based on the cases they work on together. Having become friends during the run of the series, the imprint's founders (both authors themselves), thought they'd pay homage to the show and brought Black Pawn Press to life.
In forming Black Pawn, we knew we wanted to do things a little differently. Instead of focusing on specific genres and tailoring to industry standard demographics, we're more interested in allowing people to simply tell their stories. Whether it's based on actual events, or if it's something they've allowed their imaginations to conjure, we're going to give them the opportunity to share their work with readers in both print and electronic formats. While other publishers are constantly worried about the bottom line, money isn't our driving force. Good people are, and it's sometimes those people who are being overlooked by mainstream publishing houses. Just take a look at some of the titles we've released so far and those in development, and you'll discover everything from a real-life mystical experience to the basis of several upcoming feature films and television concepts.
So when you think of Black Pawn Press, think of us as a publishing house where we firmly believe that imagination has no boundaries.

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.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
