NEW! Personalized Books at Barnes and Noble nationwide!
Whom do you love all ways? Olivia, Emma, Charlotte, Liam, Noah, or Henry? Jackson, Ethan, Eleanor or Grayson? My USA Today bestselling book, I Love You All Ways (illustrated by Dubravka Kolanovic), is the centerpiece of this new personalized-at-retail book program featuring 100 top names plus granddaughter, grandson, and fill-in-the-blank. Created by my longtime publisher Sourcebooks, this program is happily set up at all Barnes and Noble stores nationwide! Look in the kids' book section or online to find the book created especially for you.
Hi! I'm Marianne.
For 20+ years, I've been writing books that help you share your heart and connect with those you love. With 70+ books and more than seven million copies sold, I write for the “unique everybody.” Our stories are different and our feelings a lot the same. Curiosity and empathy are my jam. Inspired by my own childhood journey with epilepsy, I'm passionate about helping kids of all ages feel seen and loved — and using self-expression to learn, heal and grow. As a wise therapist told me: When you belong to yourself, your belonging with others matters more. I hope my work is a bridge to the message of your own heart!

Want to live a more connected life?
Hi! I believe a connected life is a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life. Connection to your truest self and to others. Once a month, I send out Hello You, a short love letter with ideas and inspiration plus book news and fun giveaways! I'd be delighted if you said yes to being a part. More love is GOOD!
xo, M.
