What to think about when creating a book trailer for different genres
1 Reply

I didn't even know people did book trailers until AFTER I finished shooting and editing it. I pretty much did it for fun, but it's not your typical book promo video. Since my book is first-person…Continue

Is my book trailer too over the top?

I didn't even know people did book trailers until AFTER I finished shooting and editing it. I pretty much did it for fun, but it's not your typical book promo video. Since my book is first-person narrative, along the lines of Hunter S. Thompson and Tucker Max, is there really any other way to create a book trailer for my type of book? Do you guys think it's funny? Would it make you buy my book? Don't worry, it won't hurt my feelings. I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. …See More

Hi, I came across your blog, and I thought you would be the perfect person to contact.

My name is Jay Siva, the founder of EZBuyButton.com, an easy 'buy book' widget for authors. I'm contacting you today because I think you and your readers would love to know about the EZBuyButton widget I've created.

It is the most advanced 'buy now' widget for selling books. I make it free for authors and publishers, worldwide, to quickly and easily create and use our EZBuyButton widget to place on their website or blog to immediately increase the sales of their books, especially if their books are listed for sale in more than one retail store. I made it super easy, with just a few clicks they just copy & paste a piece of code onto their website/blog, and they're done.

The widget allows website visitors to select which device they'd like to use to read the author's book, and then select their preferred retail store that they'd like to purchase the book from. It also geolocates the visitor's location and will send the visitor to the correct country specific retail store so that they can buy the author's book. The widget is also fully customizable, and the author will have access to detailed real-time statistics of the use of their widget.

I would like to invite you to visit my website, and try out the EZBuyButton widget. I hope you find that my widget will be useful to you and your readers, including all the authors, literary agents, and publishers you're in contact with.

My website is http://www.ezbuybutton.com.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you. Thank you for your time.

kindest regards,
Jay Siva

Dear Kevin,

Welcome to Book Blogs. I just joined too, and I'm having a great time getting to know people. I'm the author of the award-winning (and occasional Amazon bestseller) breakout novel, Perfection Unleashed, and I'm currently busy preparing my second and third novels for release, working on my freshly-minted blog, and currently in the middle of a blog tour.

Two things on my blog may of interest to you. My Author's Journey is a detailed description of what I've done and why along the path to publishing. Some have found it helpful and I hope you'll check it out. It's a work in progress. Next, I host guest posts and author interviews, so feel free to look me up for some free publicity.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Warmest regards,

~ Jade (My blogFacebook / Twitter)

Hi!

Welcome to Book Blogs! I'm Kate, a young adult author. My debut novel Taste has just been released by Crescent Moon Press last April 30, 2012. 


At Barinkoff Academy, there's only one rule: no students on campus after curfew. Phoenix McKay soon finds out why when she is left behind at sunset. A group calling themselves night students threaten to taste her flesh until she is saved by a mysterious, alluring boy. With his pale skin, dark eyes, and mesmerizing voice, Demitri is both irresistible and impenetrable. He warns her to stay away from his dangerous world of flesh eaters. Unfortunately, the gorgeous and playful Luka has other plans.

When Phoenix is caught between her physical and her emotional attraction, she becomes the keeper of a deadly secret that will rock the foundations of an ancient civilization living beneath Barinkoff Academy. Phoenix doesn’t realize until it is too late that the closer she gets to both Demitri and Luka the more she is plunging them all into a centuries old feud.

Grab your copy now at:

Amazon
Barnes & Noble

I hope you enjoy your stay here! Lots of great people and interesting topics. If there's anything you might need, please don't hesitate to leave a comment on my page.

Sincerely,

Kate
