MTV's Jersey Shore "Mike Sorrentino -- The Situation" Subject of Tell-All Book by Estranged Father From Strategic Book Agency

LONDON, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The star of Jersey Shore, the number one reality show on MTV and on all television in the "twenty-something" demographic, will be the subject of a tell-all book by his recently estranged father.

"I'm calling Mike on his s--t," says Frank Sorrentino, father of Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. "I've covered up for Mike his entire life, and when I needed his help, he left me hanging," continued Mike's dad. "I think people should know what I know. Hard core partying, drugs, sex, crime elements, you name it, it's in there.  Some of it's funny, some of it you won't believe, and underneath it all, well, it's a hell of a situation, and I think you know what I mean.  Based on what he did to me, my attitude is f--k the little f--k; I'm not holding anything back."

"Rights for the printed book, digital book, and mobile book are currently being offered on a speed-to-market basis," said Mr. Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency, the US book marketing, literary agency, and rights company chosen to handle the rights sales and manage the digital marketing efforts.  "Conveniently, we are launching the project at the London Book Fair this April, where we exhibit each year," continued Mr. Fletcher.  "We hope to have a six figure deal for the book rights inked by May and make that announcement at the Book Expo in New York this year."

When asked why the rights should sell so handsomely, Mr. Fletcher replied, "In the old days, the publishing industry just sold printed books.  What is going to set sales from this tell-all book apart from all the others is the ability to offer a compelling story on ALL the new book reading platforms available, along with pictures, video, and more.  We want our publishing partners to know that we will be promoting sales of print books, enhanced iPad/iPhone books, Google Editions, Kindle, Nook, Android and even some platforms that are only available in India. This list doesn't even include what is going to happen from our YouTube efforts, where we plan to serialize the stories. The outline of the book is complete and we'll work with the publisher to choose a mutually acceptable writer."

"There is every possibility that this will 'go viral' and to say we'll be pushing the publishing envelope is an understatement," said Mr. Fletcher, who is designing the rollout to coincide with the 2011 season of Jersey Shore being filmed in Italy.
