🏃🏻♀️ 6 Easy Ways to Support Strong Girl Author-Athletes! 📚
Want to help our authors chase their big dreams? Here are easy ways to help them—and get great content while you do it!
Did you know that Strong Girl Publishing authors make $$ on every single book or piece of merch that you purchase… or that a percentage of our net profits gets donated to organizations supporting girls in sport? When I founded Strong Girl Publishing, my goal was that my athlete-authors would make money—even when it meant that the business didn’t. With profit margins on books being razor-thin, it’s not always easy to make any money selling books. That means every little bit helps, from free ways to support like sharing their books on social and leaving reviews to getting a subscription to this newsletter for freebies and more fun stuff and of course, buying our author’s books and merch!
Here are the best ways to help our authors succeed:
📚 Buy Their Books
You can shop all of our books from Mackenzie Myatt, Rachel Pageau, Molly Hurford, and now, Micha Powell over on Strong Girl Publishing’s website. (You can also shop for merch like cute clothes inspired by the books!)
✨ Leave 5-Star Book Reviews
Head to Amazon, Goodreads or StrongGirlPublishing.com and leave a review of any of our books that you’ve read and loved. (Make our day + use the same review on all 3 platforms!)
🎽 Shop Their Merch
📲 Follow Them on Social
Find them all on @StrongGirlPublishing! This helps you keep up with all of their upcoming projects and events, and also helps grow their following… which is incredibly important for sponsored athletes.
📸 Share Their Books to Your Social
Take 30 seconds and share your favorite moment from the Shred Girls books, or a favorite poem from Mackenzie’s In Defense of Big Dreams in your stories or in a post. The way we spread the word about our message is through you all sharing it! (You can also FW this newsletter to a friend!)
📰 Support Strong Girl Publishing Right Here
And just a reminder, we’ve added a paid tier here on Substack. Our goal is to allow our authors to get the greatest percentage of payouts on their books. (Founder Molly Hurford’s book profits all go directly back into the business!) That means every little bit helps, and we’ll be using all proceeds from Substack subs to help promote author’s books, boost their payouts when we share their content, and generally keep the lights on.
UPCOMING FREEBIE: Get ready for a chapter from Canadian Olympic track sprinter Micha Powell’s upcoming memoir, SPRINTING THROUGH SETBACKS!
And while all newsletter content will remain free, paid subscribers will be getting some rad benefits, like sneak peeks from books months before they hit the shelves, and the chance to volunteer to be an early reader—meaning we send you a free book!
