Sometimes writing things down is easier than saying them out loud. Kate Marshall and her husband David have created guided journals to help people organize their personal stories and thoughts about life, love, beliefs and experiences and to express gratitude to their loved ones. Drawing on their passion for family, relationships and empowering others in self-expression, the Marshalls present insightful and stimulating keepsake journals that make it easy for anyone to write down their memories and wisdom.

The Marshalls' journals include:

PICTURE OF ME: Who I Am in 221 Questions (Kate & David Marshall, Broadway Books, 2009), offers prompts, checklists, places to draw and more, to help answer life's most basic question--Who am I?--in bite-sized pieces.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU (Kate & David Marshall, Broadway Books, 2007), a playful and sweet journal that offers couples a fresh way to honor their relationship and to say, "I love you" in novel ways.

THE BOOK OF US: A Journal of Your Love Story in 150 Questions (Kate & David Marshall, Hyperion, 1998), a keepsake journal for couples to remember the many shared experiences that bind them.

THE BOOK OF MYSELF: A Do-it-Yourself Autobiography in 201 Questions (Carl & David Marshall, Hyperion, 1997 & 2007), a memory-invoking tool to record a life story for reflection or for generations to come.

WORDS TO LIVE BY: A Journal of Wisdom for Someone You Love (Emily & Kate Marshall, Broadway Books, 2005), a place to share favorite proverbs, stories and lessons learned about leading a happy, healthy life.

Nearly one half million copies of the Marshalls' journals are in print. Learn more at www.marshallbooks.net
