About the Author

Elizabeth Gilbert is best known for her 2006 memoir, Eat, Pray, Love (which has sold over 12 million copies worldwide), and has penned four other New York Times bestsellers, both fiction and nonfiction.

Liz is also beloved on social media, where her shared insights into the human heart have attracted nearly 3 million devotees. Em & Friends drew on her social media writings to create this collection of cards and journals ― work that had never before been published in holdable, paper-and-ink form.

In addition to her wisdom on the human condition, Liz is also known for her poignant, honest, and hopeful writing about grief, illness, and loss, which makes her a perfect fit for Em & Friends.

Founded by writer and illustrator Emily McDowell, Los Angeles-based Em & Friends partners with other writers and artists to create gifts and cards for the relationships we really have ― and to help people connect when they're not sure what to say.

EM & FRIENDS makes cards and products for the relationships people really have and the lives we really lead: relationships and lives that are messy and beautiful, tricky and wonderful, and a whole bunch of everything else in between. We want people to feel truly seen, heard, and connected to the people they love—including themselves!—in good times, crazy times, and really freaking hard times. (Especially those times.)
