Effective for the 2026 publishing year, P1M is shifting from providing three partial grants to providing one fully supported pro bono publicity campaign to an underrepresented writer. The 2026 grant will provide one full book publicity campaign spanning eight months for a book publishing in 2026. The chosen author will be supported by the Page One team and assigned a lead publicist, I will lead on strategy, there will be administrative support for the campaign, and the book will be included in all of our team based pitching, media meetings, and annual outreach for holiday gift guides, book clubs, year-end best of lists, and in our social media when appropriate. The campaign will receive the same level of time, care, creativity, and dedication that all our campaigns receive.

Instructions: The “Publisher Affidavit” form is required for submission, our author questionnaire is only required if you don’t have one from your publisher. Both will be submitted, along with your manuscript in the Grant Application form. All materials need to be submitted at the same time and by the final due date of June 15, 2025. Please keep this in mind and do not delay in requesting that someone from your publisher fill out the affidavit form. Partial submissions will not be considered.
