Kristin Williams: Guided Journals, Workbooks & Planners
I'm Kristin Williams, an independent author who writes guided journals, workbooks, planners and puzzle books for the parts of life nobody hands you a manual for. Grief, caregiving, a hard breakup, surgery recovery, a loved one behind bars, a Christmas split between two households. Let's be honest, most of us muddle through these seasons alone, so I make tools that give you a place to start.
Every book is original, practical and meant to be used, not just read. Pick a title below, find the one that fits your season, and grab it on Amazon. I share free printables and behind-the-scenes posts on the blog, and the reader list gets a heads up on new releases.
