The Publishizer Connection 2026 Contest celebrates authors whose work restores connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world.
In a time of constant distraction and disconnection, we’re looking for books that help people return to what is real: grounded living, meaningful relationships, and a healthier rhythm of life.
Whether your work explores emotional healing, relational depth, community, or our connection to nature and the body, this is your opportunity to elevate your message and compete for high-impact publishing and media opportunities.
If your book helps people feel more connected — mentally, physically, relationally, or environmentally — it belongs here.
We’re inviting submissions across all areas of connection and modern wellness:
Self-awareness • Emotional intelligence • Confidence • Boundaries • Trauma recovery • Identity • Spirituality • Purpose • Healing from abuse
Dating • Relationships • Marriage • Divorce & separation • Family • Parenting • Workplace dynamics • Communication • Conflict resolution
Community building • Loneliness • Friendship • Activism • Technology & AI • Social systems • Culture • Belonging • Elder care
