2019 Scholarship Winner

Persuasive Writing Scholarship for Texas H.S. Senior

Smith Publicity has announced the winner of its 2019 book marketing scholarship.

Addie Harpold of Oak Point, TX, has been awarded $1,000, which will be applied to tuition costs at Texas Tech University, where Harpold will attend in the fall of 2019 as a freshman.

Harpold’s essay, titled “O.J. Simpson, a Kitten, and the Gutenberg Press- the Elements of Persuasive Writing,” blended seemingly disparate topics into a compelling examination of the art of persuasive writing.

I was challenged to think outside the box for this essay prompt, and I am always enthusiastic about experiences like that. Thank you, Smith Publicity!”
