A trailer that makes
readers need the book.
A short, cinematic trailer captures the mood of your book in under a minute. We script, design and edit trailers for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, ads and your website.
Readers scroll fast. Video stops them.
On social media, a still cover competes with endless video. A trailer gives readers a feeling, the tension of a thriller, the longing of a romance or the promise of a self-help book, in seconds.
Our team writes a tight script built around your hook, then combines licensed footage, motion graphics, music and optional voiceover into a trailer that matches your genre.
You get versions sized for every platform, plus short cut-downs for ads and stories.

What makes a trailer work
- A hook in the first two seconds
- One clear emotion or question, not the whole plot
- Text that can be read with the sound off
- A cover reveal and a clear call to action at the end
- A length that suits the platform, usually under a minute
Trailers work best as part of a wider campaign. Use them in your launch, your social media and on your author website. A book trailer is included in our Authority marketing plan.
