2009-08-10 02:00:00


Book trailers are generally created to create a buzz about a book before release.

Like movie trailers, book trailers are short and meant to capture the concept of a written work. The term "book trailer" is trademarked by Sheila Clover of Circle of Seven Productions, a production company that creates creative, intriguing book trailers for authors and publishing houses.
