Lori Briley Fairchild, Author, Inspires Girls to Speak Up and Stand Tall: Changing Perceptions One Page at a Time
Girls in sports are breaking stereotypes, proving athletes are defined by skill, not gender.
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author Lori Briley Fairchild is making a powerful impact in middle-grade and young adult fiction with a growing collection of inspiring books that encourage girls to speak up, rise above challenges, and stand strong in the face of adversity. As more girls step onto fields and courts traditionally reserved for boys, Fairchild shines a spotlight on this critical shift, empowering young readers to challenge limits, defy expectations, and pursue their dreams with bold confidence.

“I want to be a champion for girls who want to play sports, any sport. As the mother of a female hockey player, I know what it’s like to watch your daughter be the only girl on the ice. I wrote my stories so she, and girls like her, will never feel alone, no matter where they play,” says Fairchild.
From gripping mysteries to haunting dystopian worlds, Fairchild crafts stories that go beyond entertainment, offering readers characters who are bold, brave, and refreshingly honest. Her protagonists don’t wait to be rescued; they ask tough questions, push back against injustice, and chart their paths forward. Whether set in a school hallway or a world on the brink of collapse, Fairchild’s stories share one common theme: the undeniable power of girls who speak up.
"Girls are often taught to be quiet, to take up less space," Fairchild says. "My books are about young women who break that mold. I want every reader to know that their voice matters."
Her acclaimed works have already struck a chord with readers and educators alike, praised for both their page-turning plots and positive messages. Fairchild's unique ability to balance thrilling narratives with emotional depth has made her a standout voice in children’s and teen literature.
One reader raves, “If you enjoy young adult dystopian novels, you’ll enjoy The Lost Years. The story is fast-paced and keeps you interested and turning the pages. I’m looking forward to more from this author.”
According to reports, while 3.34 million girls participated in high school sports during the 2022–23 school year, they were still outnumbered by 4.53 million boys, a gap of nearly 1.2 million athletes. This stark difference highlights the ongoing challenge of equity in sports opportunities: despite strong engagement from young women, girls still have markedly fewer chances to play across high schools nationwide.
"Although girls are making real progress in sports, we still have a long way to go. My books are an opportunity for parents to show their daughters that they can be anything they want in life, and that the only limits on their dreams are the ones they place there,” concludes Fairchild.
