Lori Orlinsky is a marketing and publicity professional, award-winning children’s book author and journalist with more than two decades of experience telling stories that get noticed.

Over the course of her career, Lori has worked with more than 500 authors, helping them find the story beyond the book, build their platforms and connect with readers through media, partnerships, events, influencers and creative marketing opportunities.

But Lori also knows exactly what it feels like to be in an author’s shoes. She is the author of five bestselling children’s books and has experienced the publishing process firsthand – from writing and launching a book to pitching media, doing interviews, attending events and wondering what else you can possibly do to get your book noticed. That perspective is at the heart of how she works with authors.

Fun facts about me:

• I’m ambidextrous – I write with my left hand but do almost everything else with my right.
• I’m a mom of three daughters, and we are unapologetically huge Swifties.
• I have a huge soft spot for rescue animals and would probably bring them all home if I could.
