Annual Scholarship Contest Recognizes Excellence in Persuasive Writing
CHERRY HILL, N.J., March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Smith Publicity, the leading book marketing firm in the publishing industry, will open the submission period for its 2023 Book Marketing Scholarship on March 6. The submission period remains open until June 9, 2023. This year's essay prompt is "Is there a book that you think should be required reading for everyone? Write an essay persuading your audience to read this book."
The Smith Publicity Book Marketing Scholarship, established in 2013, is awarded to one high school senior or college/university student in the United States. To apply, each student must write an original, compelling 1,000-1,500-word essay demonstrating persuasive writing, complete with a cover letter listing the student's name, school, and graduation year.
The essay prompt and requirement of a persuasive essay reflects the work of the award-winning book publicity agency. Smith Publicity's team of book publicists must be strong persuasive writers to be effective marketers. Therefore, the essays will be reviewed and judged by the Smith team based on the quality of content and persuasiveness.
"In our business, being able to write persuasively is an absolute must," says Smith Publicity President Marissa Eigenbrood. "And, of course, we are book publicists so we are always interested in hearing about 'must-reads.' We are looking forward to reviewing all submissions and, ultimately, to awarding this year's scholarship to the winner!"
Smith Publicity CEO Sandy Poirier Smith adds, "We are thrilled to offer this annual book marketing scholarship to one dedicated student, and are grateful to be a small part of supporting their pursuit of higher education."
