Is Isabelle McGee the Same Author as Isabelle Herrscher?

Yes! Isabelle McGee and Isabelle Herrscher are the same person, me. McGee is my maiden name, and Herrscher is my married name. I got married on August 5th, 2026, and I’ll be publishing under Isabelle Herrscher from here on out.

Here are the quick answers to the questions I keep getting.

Is Herrscher a pen name?
No, it’s my real married name.

Which books are under Isabelle McGee?
My first three publications stay under McGee:

• Prompt to Grow, my very first publication, a guided journal

• Get Out of the Swamp, my second guided journal

• Chasing 25, my first full-length book

Are you republishing those books under Herrscher?
No. I’m keeping them under McGee on purpose. They mark a chapter of my life, and I want them to stay part of that chapter.

What’s coming under Herrscher?
The book I’m working on right now. The second it’s finished, it’ll be published under Isabelle Herrscher, and so will everything after it.

A little about the McGee books
Prompt to Grow was my very first time publishing anything. Even though it’s a guided journal, it taught me so much about the whole process.

Get Out of the Swamp is where I took everything I learned from that first attempt and made it better in so many ways. I expanded the idea into a quote, a challenge, and a journal prompt for each week. Both journals were made to take the pressure off of daily journaling.

Chasing 25 is my first full-length book, and I’m super proud of it. I wrote it before I met my husband, and I want to keep it under McGee because I learned those lessons, and I want my life to keep evolving for the best.
