Smith Publicity Announces Recipient of 2023 Book Marketing Scholarship
Cherry Hill, NJ (PRWEB) July 17, 2023 -- Smith Publicity, the leading book marketing agency in the publishing industry, announces that Sydney M. Carver, a student at George Mason University, is the winner of its 2023 Smith Publicity Book Marketing Scholarship. Carver is a member of the class of 2026.
Carver submitted a persuasive essay about the book Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott in response to this year's prompt, "Is there a book you think should be required reading for everyone? Write an essay persuading your audience to read this book." Her compelling description of the book and its impact on her life ultimately stood out to the judges at Smith Publicity, who reviewed hundreds of student submissions.
"The annual scholarship initiative is very meaningful to the team at Smith Publicity, as we believe whole-heartedly in the persuasive writers of tomorrow," says Corinne Moulder, Vice President of Business Development. "Sydney's piece resonated with our team, and we are thrilled to be a small part of her journey as she reaches toward a very bright future."
The 2023 Smith Publicity Book Marketing Scholarship is awarded in the amount of $2,500, and will be applied toward Carver's tuition costs at George Mason University.
"I feel incredibly blessed to have this opportunity and to have written about something I feel so passionate about," says Carver. "This idea of 'required reading' sheds light on the reader's duty to share – a duty often felt after reading a book that truly deepens our humanity. And any story that expands our sympathy and understanding of ourselves and others deserves a place on that list."
Those interested in applying for the 2024 Smith Publicity scholarship should stay tuned for the official announcement and opening of the application process in early 2024.
