I love the idea of a book trailer, and am a bit addicted to watching them on Youtube. I'm still not sure if they actually sell any more books than not having one, but they do look like fun to make.
One of our blogging buddies, Jessica Bell, from The Alliterate Allomorph is circulating her new book trailer. Check it out! (and maybe post about it to help promote her new book)...
I, too, love book trailers. I wish more authors made them so I could share them with the kiddos I tutor. It would make them pick up the book instead of just glancing at it!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if there are more trailers in the past year or if I'm just paying more attention (probably both), but there have been a lot! They're really cool and since a writer-friend of mine makes them for fellow authors, I've heard a little about how they're done. Very exciting for an author!!

Book trailers are such a great idea! It was interesting to see Jessica's. I'm excited for her!
ReplyDeleteI do think book trailers can be another tool in the writer's toolbag. I have a friend with a site called Blazing Trailers where people can post their trailers and have looked at many that intrigue and beckon. But I've also seen some amateurish ones. Jessica's was attractive and I loved the song.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charmaine! :o)
ReplyDeleteThey are fun to make. A friend has made some for me. Jessica's is great.
ReplyDeleteJessica's is especially notable since she also did the music. It's a good music video even if it weren't a book trailer.
