Smith Publicity, the most prolific book publicity and book marketing agency in the country, has announced that it offers a byline article pitching service for its clients. With the help of Smith Publicity, authors can place articles in highly visible media outlets in order to effectively promote their body of work.

Smith Publicity, one of the premier book marketing and book publicity agencies in the publishing industry, recently announced the hiring of publicity veteran Mike Onorato as Executive Director of Publicity Services.

Since 1997, authors have trusted Smith Publicity for comprehensive, customized book publicity with widespread exposure to media industry decision-makers. The firm champions books of all genres and provenances, working tirelessly to gain media exposure and successful sales for their clients. To promote their clients' latest material, Smith Publicity will be among the book publicists and other industry professionals in attendance and exhibiting at the 2016 Frankfurt Book Fair this October.

Those who are seeking out self-published book marketing or book marketing services are encouraged to pursue a book marketing company with a proven track record as soon as possible. In order to help grant access to further media opportunities, it is important to rely on a publicity agency that regularly succeeds in routine placements of self-published authors and/or their books on top national TV and radio shows. With the self-publishing revolution continuing to grow across the board, the need for book marketing, book publicity, book promotion, author promotion and writer marketing to spark book sales has increased, says Smith Publicity.

Smith Publicity, the nation's most prolific book publicity agency, has a simple motto that says it all: "Make Good Things Happen for Authors." True to their intention, Smith Publicity's marketing services for authors of all genres are tailored to clients' individual needs as closely as possible. Additionally, the book marketing agency regularly releases complimentary information to help authors choose the right firm or book publicist for their success. Most recently, Smith Publicity released a tip sheet (available on their website) entitled "5 Surefire Tips to Selecting the Right Book Publicist or Book Marketing Firm."

Sandy Smith, president of prolific book marketing agency Smith Publicity, was recently invited to join the hosts of the popular Literary Lunch podcast and share her thoughts on book publicity strategies. "The Literary Lunch" is hosted by Laura Rothschild and Sandra O'Donnell, Ph.D., both of whom are literary agents and the co-founders of RO Literary Agency.

As resources for publishing, printing, and self-publishing become more widely available to authors, many choose to publish their work independently of the traditional book publishing industry. While this route allows for unfettered creative freedom, it can also pose a frustrating problem for authors who want to promote their work but lack the requisite knowledge and experience. Smith Publicity, a book marketing agency with a proven track record of success in promoting works of all genres, can take on self-published authors and guide them to wider media exposure using time-tested methods backed by twenty years of publishing experience.

This May, Book Expo America (www.bookexpoamerica.com), the number one book and author conference in the North American publishing industry, will take place in Chicago, offering an opportunity for authors and publishers to network and share their work with all types of book industry professionals, including booksellers, librarians, publishers, book distributors and retailers as well as rights and licensing professionals. Smith Publicity, (Booth 1641) a book marketing agency with a proven track record of successfully representing a diverse array of authors, will be exhibiting to showcase the agency's services and high-profile clients and books.
