Book video trailers are excellent cutting-edge promotional tools to help you spread the word about your book to the masses - and ours are in high demand! With the advent of online marketing, increasing numbers of authors and publishers are beginning to embrace the value of having such an invaluable tool as a video trailer to help publicize their titles.
Our high quality creations have received the highest praise from authors and viewers alike, and numerous authors for whom we've crafted trailers have come back to thank us for helping boost their book sales. Since we first began creating trailers in October 2007, we have produced over 150 promotional videos for authors & publishers worldwide. We have also partnered with numerous publishing houses, review & publicity firms, and literary publicists in order to make our trailer creation services available to authors all throughout the literary world.
In creating a trailer for your book, we work directly with you to design everything from the storyline to the images/video clips used to the music selected, ensuring that we bring your vision to life. Once your trailer is complete, we post it to our network of over 40 video sharing channels, including YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo Video, AOL Video, Veoh, MySpace, and the Book Marketing Network. We also supply you with the online code for your trailer in order to post it on your site(s), and we provide you with a hard copy of your trailer for use at signings, conventions, and other networking events.
Our trailers are priced at only $150 - far below the typical rates of our competitors. In order to craft your video, we require the following info:
- A 4-5 line synopsis of your book, outlining the primary storyline - including such details as the historical timeframe, general setting, and ethnicities/appearances of characters - Any specific images/video clips that you'd like to include in the trailer - The type of musical background that you'd like to feature in the video (e.g. inspirational, suspenseful, romantic, etc.) - Ordering information for your title, including ISBN, your website URL, and where it can be purchased (e.g. Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com)
Please forward the aforementioned information to us at Trailers@GWExtra.com. We typically complete our initial draft of your trailer within 3-4 business days. Once your draft is complete, you will be allowed a maximum two (2) rounds of revision at no extra cost.
