Praise for EASY CRAFTS:

“Easy Crafts is a funny, sharp-tongued memoir about Brown weathering a torrent of tragedies … gluing it all together is her irreducible voice, determinedly light in the face of immense darkness, which mimics the exhilaration you feel when your fast-talking friend cracks themselves open over a few drinks and you get to glimpse their raw, one-of-a-kind, blood-spattered heart.” —Portland Monthly, Best Books of 2021

"A sincere, humorous memoir ... Brown will inspire readers to do what she struggled to do herself: express difficult emotions and find a way forward through the darkness." —Library Journal 

"Highly autobiographical, undeniably practical, and very entertaining.” —San Francisco Book Review

“Clever and whimsical and insightful and honest and charming and darkly funny—there is not a wrong note in the entire blessed thing. This is a perfect book. Read it immediately.” —Sarah Knight, author of Get Your Sh*t Together and the No F*cks Given Guides

“Kelly’s hilarious, inspiring, and instructional memoir not only  adds an important new voice to the cultural conversation on mental health and self-care, it also taught me how to make a nail polish dragon egg, which I never knew I needed in my life until now.” 
—Alexi Pappas, author of Bravey 

“Hilarious, vulnerable, yet insightful, Easy Crafts for the Insane is  my new favorite book. Wonderful story telling with an instant  intimacy, cute drawings and smart crafting tips. Kelly Williams  Brown is my current girl crush and writing hero.” —Amy Dresner, author of My Fair Junkie
