Country music is full of powerhouse singers and seasoned songwriters. And, it turns out that some multi-talented singers are also published authors, including several of the biggest female artists.

Whether you’re looking to pick up a novel, poetry book, cookbook, or even a children’s book, the women of the country have you covered.

Kelsea Ballerinifor example, previously explained that she “realized that some feelings can’t be turned into a song.” That’s why she started writing poems instead and launched her first book of poetry, Feel your way through, in November. The collection is something that Ballerini wrote in the same way as his music: “Just like my songs, they are personal and honest. Just like my songs, they have hooks and rhymes. Just like my songs, they’re about what it’s like to be twenty years old trying to navigate a wildly beautiful and broken world.

Lauren Alaina published his book around the same time, delving into the “Road less taken” in Become good at being yourself. The book aims to inspire readers to show compassion and forgiveness while pursuing their dreams, peppered with behind-the-scenes photos of Alaina’s career milestones, according to the the description. Become good at being yourself including a foreword by Trisha Yearwood, an iconic country artist and longtime mentor to Alaina, who has published a few books herself. Yearwood’s latest cookbook released in September and self-proclaimed official taste tester (and country giant…who also happens to be her husband) Garth Brooks applauded”The Queen’s NEW Cookbook” when it became available.

Carrie Underwood also included recipes – and much more – in her fitness inspired book FIND YOUR WAY: Honor your body, fuel your soul and grow stronger with Fit52 Life. It’s all about healthy living, including sustainable meal plans and exercise. Underwood launched the book in March 2020.

Soon, Dolly Parton will release his latest project: Run, Rose, Runa companion album and a novel, co-written with bestselling author James Patterson. “It was such a pleasure to write [‘Run, Rose, Run’] together and we look forward to sharing the characters’ stories with all of you,” Parton previously said in a statement. The album is due out on Friday (March 4) and the novel will follow on Monday (March 7).
