Our Story
Affirm The Word Literary was founded by J. Marie Jones during the COVID-19 pandemic when, as a single mother facing deep personal struggles, she created a journal to help herself heal and move forward. Seeing that countless women were silently battling divorce, anxiety, low self-worth, and uncertainty without guidance, she transformed that single journal into a brand offering hundreds of faith-based products. Today, Affirm The Word Literary exists to help women find hope, healing, and purpose through scripture-based tools that inspire them to live with faith and intention.

Journaling for Spiritual Growth and Wholeness
Basic Journaling
Intentional Journaling
Traditionally used to simply vent one's
thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Can lack focus and intention since the
purpose is to decompress.
Chronicles one's past and prior state of
being, but oftentimes merely as a point
of reference, not accountability.
Usually a hodgepodge of everything happening in one's life at any given time. Although soothing to release, continued focus often prevents one from getting to the core issue and pursuing resolution.
Intentional Journaling
A method of journaling used to strategically identify and focus on life-giving thoughts; Often in the midst of chaos.
Intentionally eliminates any self-defeating and/or random thoughts, beliefs, or experiences that are deemed inconsequential to one's vision or purpose.
Lays the foundation for goal-setting and holding one's self accountable as they move toward the desires God placed on their heart.
Serves as a place of alignment to help refocus one's internal state in light of circumstances that speak to the contrary.
The Power of Journaling Prayers!
#1 Personal Record of God's Mercy
There's nothing like calling on God and seeing him answer. Sadly, when trouble comes, many of us forget the wonders God has performed in our life. Writing down our prayer, and God's answers, helps us stand in confidence that no matter what—God is in control!
#2 Accountability
When we write down our prayers, and acknowledge that we will wait on God's supernatural will and timing to manifest in every situation, we can no longer just haul off and do things our way when we don't think God is moving fast enough. Much like a spiritual contract, we are affirming through the written word that we trust and will wait on God.
#3 Inner Alignment
The word says that there are times when we ask/pray, and do not receive because our prayers are not in alignment with God's will. Writing our prayers down, as we get into God's word helps us to focus on God's will and way concerning our petition, and not ours.
#4 Helps Build Our Faith
God's word instructs us to write the vision he places in our heart and make it plain so that we are inspired to run toward our purpose when we read it. The same can be said about your prayers. They too are a vision that God places in our heart—evidenced when the manifested outcome brings glory to him.

Our Vision
Our literary safe spaces allow women to pour out their experiences on pages to gain self-awareness, personal growth, and cultivate one's spiritual development. We are dedicated to their progressive journey to wholeness and spiritual wellbeing. Creating products that empower women to take the leap in pursuing self-reflection and self-worth through God’s eyes is our ultimate goal.
Our ESG Commitment
A commitment to environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) has always been our primary focus, along with customer engagement. One way we do this is through our Blemished Beauty program, where we offer slightly damaged journals to customers at the cost of shipping. This allows individuals who may not be able to afford one to still benefit from our products.
.Furthermore, in 2021 and 2022 we made monetary donations ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 to two female-led organizations that serve the needs of women and girls in NYC and Long Island, NY. We are committed to continuing our support by donating at least $1,000 to one female-owned and operated organization every year through our #affirmtheword challenge. This challenge recognizes women who have battled through and overcome adversities while continuing to serve others, particularly women in need.
The outcome of such programs have ensured that our profits are recycled into initiatives that impact other women and girls, while preventing waste and providing product access to those in need.
