Good Book Trailers?

davidhburton · Jan 17, 2010

Hi all,

I've seen a lot of horrible book trailers. What I'm looking for are examples of really good ones.

Anyone?

Cheers!

Not to be immodest, but I think my MG trailer is really good!

I'm not sure you're going to get anyone in this thread say, "here's my book trailer. It's one of the horrible ones."

I've seen some bad ones, so that helped me shape my own, plus some feedback on AW helped a great deal, too.

Here's my trailer. Book released January 25, 2010.

I personally don't believe it's one of the horrible ones.

Has a book trailer for an unknown writer's book ever spurred sales? (Asks the guy who's considering making a book trailer.)

underthecity · Jan 25, 2010

It's hard to say. At the very least, the trailer helps build awareness of the book's existence. Keywords and tags on YouTube can help there.

This is very good!

This is my favorite one that I've seen so far, and I have to admit I am considering purchasing the book because of it.

This one has also gotten a lot of buzz, and I think it's cool. The story doesn't appeal to me, but I think it's a very well done trailer.

Check out these book trailer websites and do some research

These are also my favorite places to check out trailers.

I think it might be more to the point to mention a book trailer you saw and remembered, or even bought the book, that was made by someone you didn't know? Because it would be a bit telling if no one can come up with an example like that.

backslashbaby · Jan 27, 2010

I bought this book because of the trailer, and I don't know the author:

My friend Lesley's book trailer for her latest "Darklight" is pretty darn awesome (I also happen to be in it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkxnspbXVOo

The Book Thief by Markus Zusack has a really good trailer

I actually thought that the book trailer for Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters was rather charming and relevant.

davidhburton · Feb 8, 2010

Thanks all! This has been really useful in helping me to create my own. There are some really good examples in here.

Cheers!!

Well, I like to think my book trailer is nice, but then again, I might be biased

NICE TRAILER!!

I also ended up using After Effects for mine. Brilliant piece of software.

davidhburton · Feb 23, 2010

So I finished mine and am releasing it with my book tomorrow.
