New York Times Bestseller

Postsecret.com founder Frank Warren is back with a fresh and compelling companion to his wildly popular Los Angeles Times bestseller, PostSecret. For My Secret, a collectible, paper-over-board book that features a page of vibrant, decorative stickers, Warren has personally selected never-before-seen anonymous postcards created by teens and college students from across the country. Each card bears an intimate and powerful secret—at turns inspirational, shocking, hilarious, and poetic—that may be told through original illustrations, photographs, collages, and other creative means. Sample messages include:

  • “I am avoiding you because you are socially below me.”
  • “I know the truth to the lie my parents tell… “
  • “My friends think I used to be homeschooled. I spent high school in juvi.”

A unique and important book in an effort to appeal to both young adults and their parents, My Secret offers a raw and revealing glimpse into the real lives of today’s teens and twentysomethings. Choosing their own handmade postcards over email or text messages, teens and college students express their hopes, fears, and wildest confessions in a way that in point of fact represents their diverse personalities and voices.

At the beginning of 2005, Frank Warren launched a new blog known as PostSecret as an experiment in community art, inviting strangers to mail him anonymous postcards that made art out of their innermost secrets and then posting a selection of the cards every week on his blog. Within a year, his blog was once one of the vital five most well liked on the earth, and his first book, PostSecret, was once one of the vital surprise bestsellers of 2005. My Secret is his second book, a collection of cards from teens and college students–none of which has been shown on the website–that carries the same emotional power and creativity that have made Warren’s project a phenomenon.
