Athletically-oriented books for middle grade & young adult girls, written by young women athletes.

We make athletically-oriented books + content for middle grade and young adult girls, written by young women athletes. Strong Girl Publishing was founded by Molly Hurford, author of the Shred Girls, a series for girls who want to have fun on two wheels! You being here is awesome, because it means you’re ready to get rad on a bike, find another sport that fits your passions, or maybe just read a book to get a taste for what sport can do for you.

Come behind the scenes!! How does a children’s book get made? Here’s some of the making THE RAGTAG BEST FRIENDS BICYCLE CLUB with and — a non exhaustive list, but there’s the ideation phase, getting the storyline sorted, the actual text written, then the ideas for illustrations. Working with Pip made it easy because from moment 1 when she sent her concept art, we knew it was a winner. But that didn’t mean it was easy! So much back and forth to perfect every page, then the work of laying it all out, writing things like the back of book, press releases, marketing materials and more, then the actual printing, signing, labeling, shipping (and carrying 50lbs of books a mile to the post office as a run warmup 😂) and FINALLY the amazing launch at with brands like and supporting.
