What a book trailer is
A book trailer is a short film that introduces your book the way a film trailer introduces a film: the hook, the world and the stakes, in well under a minute.
We adapt it from your book, so the characters, the places and the tone come from the page. Then we cut it for every channel your launch uses.

What authors ask about trailers.
What do you need from me?
Your book, your cover, and any descriptions or references you have for characters and places.
Do I approve anything before production?
Yes. You approve the script and storyboard before production starts.
How long is a book trailer?
Our studio samples run from 19 to 37 seconds. The length of your trailer is agreed in your proposal.
Which formats do I receive?
The formats agreed in your proposal: a full trailer in 16:9, teasers in 16:9 and 9:16, social cutdowns in 9:16, and ads in 1:1 and 4:5.
What is a launch pack?
The trailer plus the pieces your launch needs, such as social cuts, a cover reveal, an author website or an audio piece. Each pack is planned around your book and your launch.
Can a publisher order for a whole list?
Yes. The same process works across a list, with each title delivered in the formats its channels need.
