Book Trailers
Posted on October 26th, 2009 8 commentsBook Trailer are like movie trailers, only for books. They can be a relatively inexpensive way to drum up buzz about one’s book. A few years ago, there were very few of them out there, but now if you do a search for them on YouTube, you can find quite a few. Some, naturally, are much more entertaining than others.
What I’d like to see are awards for book trailers. What shall we call them? The Booker Prize? Nope, taken. The Oscars? Nope, also taken. Hmmm. I’ll have to think on that one.
Here are a few that are worthy of mention:
Bent Art:
Funny Parenting book:
My all-time favourite (there is a short version, but I like the long one better):

Nice post Jean. I actually made a book trailer for my novel. It was super easy and turned out okay. I added some music and voila! (Maybe there’s a future for me in Hollywood! lol) Anyway, if I ever post it on my blog I’ll let you know. Either way it was fun.

Great post, Jean!! I just found out about book trailers a little while ago. They are sure a lot of fun. The bent objects one is hysterical
-
That’s cool, TK. Is the book published/unpublished? Are you willing to share your trailer? I’d love to see it.

They are fun, aren’t they? I finally saw a book commercial on TV the other. Wave of the future, baby!
The bent objects are pretty cool. It almost makes me want to buy the book. Which is the point, isn’t it?
-
The book is not published, but I’ll put the trailer up on my blog in a couple of days. Just need to fix the music to it. I won’t leave it up for long, though as the pix are not mine.

What fun! Let me know when it is up and I’ll check it out. I love the idea of making a trailer.

They look like great fun, though I don’t know if I will ever fall in the “weren’t that easy” category like TK!
That’s why I had kids–so they can keep up with technology and keep me in line.

That’s funny. I always wondered what else kids were good for (other than cleaning the bathroom and making me laugh).
