Our Authors

Our goal is to create a space to young women athletes who are looking for a platform to share their voices. We know that 80% of elite female athletes surveyed by Parity Now said they earned under $5,000 from sponsorships in 2023 and 41% of athletes paid $10,000 or more out of pocket to compete. 64% of these athletes report feeling very or extremely stressed about money.

Strong Girl Publishing offers them a way to fund their dream.

At Strong Girl Publishing, our athlete authors aren’t just great at their sports: We celebrate girls and women as multifaceted individuals who don’t fit into any one box. They’re strong women, but not just physically.

They can be anything: They can be into punk rock and want to PR their 5K. They can love fashion while figuring out how to get grass stains out of their soccer uniform. They can read books on the team bus instead of being part of the singalong, or they can be the one who starts up the Sweet Caroline moment. They can wear mascara on the start line—for themselves, not for anyone else.

We believe that every girl and woman contains multitudes, and every girl and woman can tap into her inner athlete, on and off the playing field. And our authors aren’t just creating a product. They’re supported with friendship, with mentorship, with whatever they need in the process.

Our GIVEBACK

Not only do our author-athletes make money on every single book sale, we donate a percentage of our net profits to organizations like Fast and Female, who are working to help more girls discover a love of sport.

In 2024, we donated over 75 books to organizations including CAN Fund, which directly support women athletes. We donated time and funds to Fast and Female, spoke at over a dozen schools and youth organizations including NICA’s GRiT programs, and handed out hundreds of stickers to young girls who are learning that they can be anything.
