Book trailers are a form of advertising for a book. Produced by publishers, and sometimes authors themselves, they are tools to create interest in a book. Their popularity has exploded, and many have gone viral, becoming a vital part of many publishers’ marketing strategies.
Book trailers can vary tremendously in how they are produced. Some are fully scripted mini-movies, and others are simply uploaded PowerPoint presentations. The one thing they all share in common is a desire to introduce the book, and convert viewers of the trailer into readers of the book. This will be your job.
