I’ve witnessed numerous publishers stumble due to their emotional ties to the wrong projects. For instance, during the last holiday season, I had to strategically pivot away from my high-content books as my coloring books surged in popularity. It was a tough decision, but it’s crucial not to let ego cloud judgment. The key takeaway is that the best book in your portfolio is always the one that generates sales.

Emotional attachment can cloud decision-making when it comes to what books to focus on, and it’s essential to prioritize profitability over pride. Ultimately, those who adapt and follow market demands are the ones who succeed. Don’t underestimate the power of being flexible in your publishing strategy!
