Submit Your Book for the 2025 Grateful American Book Prize
S For Story/10646639
The annual book prize is awarded for high quality, 7th to 9th grade level historical fiction, fiction, non-fiction, and biographies about important people--and events--in America's History.
ARLINGTON, Va. - s4story -- The Grateful American Book Prize is accepting submissions for historical fiction, fiction, non-fiction, and biographies for adolescents—ages 11 to 15, and published between August 1, 2024, and July 31, 2025.
"Over the past several decades schools have gradually de-emphasized history in the classroom; as a result, many students do not know who Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were," according to David Bruce Smith, Co-founder of the Prize. "It's been a lingering problem for quite some time and so, at the behest and in collaboration with the late Dr. Bruce Cole, the former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, we established the Prize to re-engage young readers and ramp up interest. As Dr. Cole put it, 'we are a country of historical amnesiacs' and perhaps historical 'page turners' for kids may be just what the doctor ordered."

The Grateful American Book Prize comes with a $13,000 cash award in commemoration of the 13 original Colonies, a lifetime membership to The New York Historical, and a medallion created by Smith's mother, the renowned artist, Clarice Smith.
