The national bestseller.
Write. Burn. Repeat. Now with new covers to match whatever mood you’re in.
“This book has made me laugh and cry, filled me with joy, and inspired me.”
-TikTok user camrynbanks
Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, VSCO, YouTube…the world has not only become one giant feed, but also one giant confessional. Burn After Writing allows you to spend less time scrolling and more time self-reflecting. Through incisive questions and thought experiments, this journal helps you learn new things while letting others go. Imagine instead of publicly declaring your feelings for others, you privately declared your feelings for yourself?
Help your heart by turning off the comments and muting the accounts that drive you into jealousy for a few moments a night. Whether you are going through the ups and downs of growing up, or know a few young people who are, you will flourish by finding free expression–even if through a few tears!
Push your limits, reflect on your past, present, and future, and create a secret book that’s about you, and just for you. This is not a diary, and there is no posting required. And when you’re finished, toss it, hide it, or Burn After Writing.

you will feel so much better after you work through this journal
Burn After Writing by Sharon Jones is a unique and introspective journal that invites you to dig deep into your thoughts, memories, and emotions. Itâs more than just a journal; itâs a personal journey of self-discovery, designed to help you reflect on your life and, ultimately, let go of what no longer serves you.What I Appreciated: ⢠Thought-Provoking Prompts: The journal is filled with prompts that really make you think. Some are light and fun, while others are more challenging, pushing you to confront aspects of your life that you might not have thought about in a long timeâor ever. Itâs a great way to explore your inner self without the pressure of sharing your thoughts with anyone. ⢠Privacy Encouraged: The idea behind Burn After Writing is that youâre writing just for yourself, with the freedom to be completely honest. The title itself suggests that once youâre done, you might choose to destroy the journal, which adds a sense of liberation to the process. ⢠Simple and Effective Layout: The design is straightforward, with plenty of space for you to write. Thereâs a minimalist approach to the layout, which keeps the focus on your thoughts and responses rather than distracting visuals or overcomplicated formatting. ⢠Emotional Catharsis: For those who are ready to confront and release their emotions, this journal can be incredibly cathartic. Itâs a safe space to pour out your heart and leave behind anything thatâs been weighing you down.A Few Considerations: ⢠Depth Varies: Some prompts may feel superficial or repetitive, especially if youâve done similar journaling exercises before. However, this also means that the journal is accessible to a wide range of users, from those new to self-reflection to more experienced journalers. ⢠Not for Everyone: If youâre not comfortable with deep introspection or prefer guided, structured journaling, this might not be the best fit for you. The journal requires a willingness to be vulnerable, which isnât always easy. ⢠Burning It: The concept of burning the journal after completing it can be both appealing and daunting. Itâs a symbolic act of letting go, but some might find it hard to actually destroy something theyâve spent time and effort on.

Thought-provoking
Thought-provoking journal. It helps with my anxiety and is making me look deeper inside myself and connect with my feelings. The questions/ prompts can be hard hitting, making you emotional. I like the chic design of this journal. It’s a paperback book so it’s not the sturdiest.

Love the journey
This book is incredible. It’s very helpful. It’s a good excuse to sit down and relax and write out some feelings and help yourself feel better.

Excellent, so far
Besides the fact that I need to be prompted to write…and think, I think this type of suggestion will help me understand my place in the Universe. Honestly, it was like self-reflecting without paying a therapist. Get it if you have a need for such things.

Cool diy book
Every once in awhile when Iâm bored Iâll write in here, itâs pretty fun to make up your own stories or just rant in there like a journal and not have to come up with your own ideas or concepts. This would be a really cool gift for a teen girl lol!

Great for all ages. Keep or Burn after doing a little soul searching.
My 14yr old daughter asked for this book a couple mnths ago. She’s in 9th grade and this is a popular book that she heard about. My daughter plays sports and is a sporty girl, but she also likes to get fixed up and be girly. She started High School this year at a new school with new friends, had to do the majority of school online, juggle two sports, and has her first boyfriend of almost 7mnths. With all of these new things going on at this time in her life, she thought this book would be fun to fill out and look back on, or burn! As did I.There are no actual matches, of course. It’s just a flat picture that really does looks like a 3d match box. I knew it didn’t come with any matches before ordering, which is probably good depending on who this is bought for, but I just thought I’d mention it. You can get this book in different colors. I know there’s this pink, a blue, & a gray. Possibly other colors, but those are the ones I specifically seen when looking for this.I scrolled through this book/journal, and it seems like a fun book to fill out and possibly learn a little about yourself. I know the theme is to fill it out and dispose, but I think this would be a great treasure to save to look back on and reminisce, as well as to see how much you’ve learned, changed, or grown overtime. I think this would be fun for many different ages, and not just teenagers. It would be great to have for when you’re traveling, bored, or just in the mood to do some soul searching. It would be fun to fill out with a group of friends even. I think this would be a positive gift for anyone, especially those who enjoy reading or writing. My daughter hasn’t finished this yet, but she has started and is enjoying the experience. She’s happy with the purchase, and does recommend this to others. I took a few pictures to help give you an idea of what to expect in person and to show you a few examples. I hope our experience and pictures helps you in some way.

No help after prompts
I am torn about this book. On the one hand, there are somewhat interesting prompts. Here are few at random:The stupidest thing I have ever done the nicest thing I’ve ever done that no one knows aboutThe biggest challenge facing the world todayPeople to be forgivenIf no one was watching, I wouldIf I could spend my last hours of life with anyone, doing anything, I wouldBut there are some silly ones too:Most of the top 5 lists you are asked to make and others that seem more geared toward teens. (1st kiss, 1st love, etc.)The main issue though is there is nothing after you write your answer, no help with understanding the ‘whys’ of what you wrote. So I might continue, but then again why bother if I’m only going to shred it when done? Seems like just rehashing the past for no reason, considering the present without ways to make it better, and thinking about the future with no real path to influence how it all pans out.

J’adore le concept de ce livre qui nous amène à réfléchir sur nous-même. Une introspection intéressante que l’on peut faire, arrêter puis reprendre quand on le souhaite et dans l’ordre que l’on veut.
