Awards Submission Strategy
Research and planning to help you identify book awards worth considering and prepare submissions correctly.
Choosing awards worth your time.
Book awards vary widely in scope, cost, and relevance, and submission requirements can be detailed and easy to miss. Awards strategy is about finding the ones that genuinely fit your book, and preparing submissions carefully.
Phoenix can research suitable awards for your book and help you prepare a submission that meets each program's specific requirements, subject to each award's own judging process.

Why Phoenix
We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect awards submission strategy with the editing, publishing, marketing or media work around it, so each piece supports the next. We explain what we recommend and why, agree the scope with you before starting, and never promise sales, rankings, coverage or reviews.
