About the Page One Media 2026 Grant

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.
