Ask Elizabeth is the complete guide to teen life. Drawn from the many workshops Elizabeth Berkley has conducted with teen girls across the country, Ask Elizabeth brings these revealing and intimate conversations to life on the page.

Much like a private diary, the book is a personal resource that girls can turn to when they seek answers to teen life’s toughest questions. It contains real and practical advice, anecdotes, and Elizabeth’s own life lessons in answers to frequently asked questions from Elizabeth’s workshop, such as: What do you do when you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see? or How do you get a guy to know you’re alive?

Along with a panel of experts, Elizabeth advises girls in matters of sex, nutrition, fitness, body image, personal relationships, and more.

Elizabeth worked with us directly, in collaboration with her husband, Greg Lauren, and sent us personal ephemera which was used throughout for collage spreads in addition to my own calligraphy, photography, and ephemera to create the feeling of a hand-made book to be enjoyed and passed on to continue Elizabeth’s story and message.
