September 2019 UPDATE: New editions with larger, darker type and fresh designs for bestsellers: The Book of Myself and The Book of Us.

I am a PK (preacher's kid) from Texas, grew up in Chicago, and lived in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Denver, Mexico City, Munich, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia before settling back in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have two lives. During the day, I'm the CEO/CFO of a nonfiction publisher, working for Berrett-Koehler in Oakland. We publish books to help our readers create positive change. Our mission is connecting people and ideas to create a world that works for all.

The Book of Myself: A Do-It-Yourself Autobiography, which I wrote with my grandfather Carl Marshall, was the first of our journal series, and remains a bestseller to this day. My wife Kate and I co-authored My Life Map; Picture of Me; What I Love About You; What I Love About You, Mom; and The Book of Us. We are grateful that our journals have been used by so many people to share their love, tell their stories, connect with family members, and grow personally. Please visit us at www.marshallbooks.net
