What’s a book trailer?

A book trailer is just like a movie trailer; but for your book! Our team works with you (the author) to create an approximately 1-minute long video book trailer for your title. We write a script based upon your book’s content that will showcase the most exciting and important details of your title and will entice viewers’ curiosity. The finished trailer often features images or illustrations from your book or professional video that we will work with you to capture that is relevant to your book’s subject. We often work with experienced voice talent to narrate particularly impactful lines from your book, or engaging copy from the script. We score the whole thing with music that emphasizes the themes and emotions of your book. The end result is a video trailer for your title that summarizes why your book is special and sets your book up to intrigue and enthrall readers far and wide.

Why create a book trailer?

A book trailer is a core piece of any book’s marketing package. Along with your one sheet, media kit, and website, the book trailer helps to promote your title. Book trailers can be shared with book stores, media outlets, social media, and can be embedded anywhere online. You can e-mail links to important contacts or loved ones who may want to hear more about your work. Video content consistently performs better than the same content in text or image form. A potential customer of your book is more likely to click on and watch a short video than read through several paragraphs of text. The video book trailer is expertly positioned to excite and entice viewers with music, video, professional narration and animated images or illustrations from your book. This short piece of video content will dramatically increase the number of people exposed to your book.
