My new job…

Smokler on June 4, 2011

First time I've ever been hired with a press release…

BookTour.com co-founder Kevin Smokler has been named vice president of marketing at Byliner.

Smokler will be responsible for overseeing marketing initiatives, social media projects, and community management at the new nonfiction site. Smokler previously served as CEO of BookTour.com. That site offers tools and services for authors to promote their books and for readers to have access to the authors.

Smokler had this statement in the press release: “Four of my great loves–reading, journalism, publishing and technology–all showed up in one job. How often does that happen?”

Byliner.com will formally launch in early June. The site will offer nonfiction authors and readers the chance to form a community by allowing for personalized recommendations, social bookmarking and aggregated discussion. Byliner also runs Byliner Originals, a distribution platform which publishes nonfiction pieces that can be read in a single sitting.
