What your book trailer includes
Licensed visuals
We use properly licensed stock footage, motion graphics or your book's own artwork. No copyright problems later.
Music and sound
A licensed music track and sound effects chosen to match your genre, with optional professional voiceover.
Text and captions
On-screen text and burned-in captions, since many people watch social video with the sound off.
Every platform size
Your trailer is exported in vertical, square and widescreen versions for Reels, TikTok, YouTube, Amazon and your website.
Why authors work with us
A good result depends as much on the working relationship as on the craft.
Specialists matched to your book
We pair you with people who work in your genre and format, not whoever happens to be free.
Nothing goes out without your yes
You review drafts and proofs at every stage and ask for changes before anything is final.
One person to talk to
A dedicated project manager answers your questions and keeps the delivery date agreed at the start.
One team for every step
Editing, design, publishing and promotion happen under one roof, so nothing is lost between hand-offs.

Video Book Trailer questions, answered
