Our Team

At Her Best Foot Forward Books (HBFF Books), we believe in the wondrous superpowers of stories that shine a light on voices too often left in the shadows. We are committed to publishing books that highlight underrepresented, underexplored, or overlooked female voices in both history and fiction. Our catalog primarily features literary fiction, fantasy/paranormal, children’s books, young adult (YA), and the occasional one-of-a-kind project that speaks to our heart and mission.

Though conceived in 2012, HBFF Books was fully brought to life in 2024 after twelve years of planning, vision, and persistence. Today, our small team publishes only a handful of titles each year, ensuring that every project we champion receives the dedication and thoughtful attention it deserves.

We welcome submissions from March 1st to June 30th each year, inviting authors to share their voices and stories with us.
