Book Trailers - $499
One of our mantras is that "a picture paints 1,000 words." Nothing is more true than when we create a Caption Short for books. Movie trailers are a mainstay in the film industry, and for good reason. Well, why not the book industry? There are a few, but they are mostly relegated to best-selling authors with large publishers. Or, they are expensive and timely to produce, at least the good ones are, with a poor ROI. Book trailers have gotten a bad rap over the years and we think that is a shame. We believe that every author deserves a well-produced book trailer that won't break the bank, yet still represents their book in a professional manner. "Good, fast, and affordable!" The compelling captions, moving images and music tell a fantastic story that the book description alone simply cannot tell. Be it a young adult fantasy fiction title or a self-help book in the personal transformation space, a book trailer ad or organic post will motivate your prospective readers to seek out your book and discover why it is a must-read! And don't forget about mobile. That is the experience we are creating these for. Compelling vertical videos that move the needle. Check out some of our video book trailers below and you be the judge on if a picture does indeed paint 1,000 words.

"Miss Mabel's School for Girls" (Fiction)
This was the first fiction trailer we produced back in late 2021. Looking to create samples, we discovered this popular title at Goodreads and got to work. Once done we reached out to the book's author Katie Cross who readily engaged with us. After some fantastic feedback from Katie, we revised the trailer per her recommendations and a new book trailer was born! Katie has continued to journey with us as we have built our business and her input along the way has been invaluable! She was really pleased with the results of this first trailer and we look forward to creating more for Katie. In her own words - "Loved the experience of working with your team and has already proven to be a great asset in my advertising strategy. You captured a compelling story with the photos and made it so easy to work together. Super cool!" Click here to check out "Miss Mabel's School for Girls" on Katie's website.

"Gathering of the Tribe" (Fiction) - Quote Version
We created this for a new author who has yet to publish her book. She had not yet finished up her book description so we asked her to send us a 100 word synopsis, like one you would find at Amazon. The author wanted to include some quotes at the end of the trailer so she kept the story short. Nothing wrong with that in today's social media world of short video clips! When the work was done she was pleased, saying "You have a great idea, here. It's so exciting to see the book come to life!...I really like how you incorporated my requests. I can see these being part of my marketing plan for sure. Thank you so much for your work!!" Captions: What if being free meant living on the streets of San Francisco? / 15-year-old Sophia finds out / when she joins a band of teen runaways, / and forms “The Tribe.” / On a quest to find home / they get a crash course in street smarts. / “I just finished reading this and immediately want to read it again. The pace, action, depth, and characters connect and intrigue.” - Heather B" / I loved the gritty world of the bike-messenger culture - the loyalty, connections, and hierarchies was near ethnographic.” - Kathryn S. / ”I loved the dialogue - feels so real.” - C. Gentile. / Available 2022. |

"Walking in Mud" (Nonfiction)
Author Steve Giblin has written a fascinating book on how to cope with the new normal we all find ourselves living due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Steve draws on his more than 20 years' experience as a Navy Seal to offer wisdom to his readers on how to survive this new journey that the world has embarked upon. Based on a 106 word caption set that Steve submitted, we quickly created a book trailer that captures the essence of what "Walking in Mud" is about. Steve's kind words exemplify what it is we are trying to accomplish with our book trailers - "This is awesome! You guys have done something very cool. In just 45 seconds you gave my book a solid shot in the arm. I think anyone who has a business or something to sell could benefit greatly from your product."

"The Gospel According to Jack" (Nonfiction)
This trailer was created for a book that is still in the process of development. It was actually the first book trailer we created. The great response we received from the people who viewed the trailer inspired us to dive into doing more trailers for authors. At only 82 words, this book's synopsis isn't a description of what the self-help book is about, but rather select quotes and phrases from the book that we knew would inspire people to want to read more. Captions: You were born to Win. / To Achieve. / To Grow. / To attain higher and higher levels of Thought. / Good Health. / Happiness. / Understanding. / Awareness. / In finding, understanding, and using your spiritual Powers, fear no evil, for you, / through those very Powers, invoke the direction, guidance and protection of God! / To become free, we must see what holds Us in bondage / – Conditioned, limited thinking. / You were born to master this life. / Let your light shine. / The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. / Live it! / Available 2022. |

"Karen Way" (Fiction)
Written for a the young adult audience, this dystopian novel was the first fiction book that we created a trailer for. Loosely based on a true story, the novel deals with a myriad of dark themes that made it challenging to find the right images that would effectively support the narrative. Peter Vanek's direction was critical in helping our editors create a trailer that tells the right story, supporting the idea that it is not only important that the author submit quality captions, but that they provide additional context and a clear vision of what it is that they want their trailer to be. The final verdict? According to Peter - "Love the video! The book trailer authoring system was easy to use. Submit my text and boom, in no time the team created a video that I am thrilled with. The trailer captures the essence of my book in a way that a text description simply can't. What an awesome marketing tool!" Captions: Story of a teenager growing up with a single mom in the 1970’s. / Caulden struggles with his insecurities, on top of his mother’s, / and together they battle depression, poverty, suicide, and the emotional scars of domestic abuse. / Caulden continually attempts to understand the wrenching changes to his mother, and himself, / after the seemingly light and breezy days when they lived on Karen way, / and their subsequent drift to despair, loneliness, and more “crappy” apartments. / Life is hard for young Caulden as he is ordinary, until an extraordinary thing happens. / Who the hell are you, anyway? / I thought you knew who I was, I’m Holden, you idiot… / Hey, what are you doing? / I wasn’t serious, Buddy. / The novel becomes the last testimony of Caulden Holfield / as he transcends the legacy of Holden Caulfield, of “The Catcher in the Rye.” / As both call out the phoniness around them. / Available 2022. |
