Girl Friday

Female founded and -led since 2006, Girl Friday’s indie publishing program puts publishing power in the hands of entrepreneurial authors. We believe creators deserve to own their book, their rights, and their earnings, while still getting a competitive shot at the bookshelf. Since 2020, our Girl Friday Books (GFB) imprint curates a list of distinctive works by enterprising authors across genres. We proudly make high quality book publishing available to a broad range of authors to amplify more voices and shine light on compelling niches. Our family of brands includes Bird Upstairs, highlighting the lives and imaginations of a diverse set of young people’s experiences, and Flashpoint Books, a partnership publishing avenue designed to serve the needs of powerful creators, keeping their vision at the center. We believe in questioning every single “way it’s always done.” We are here to change the narrative.
