If anything, I’m meant to be behind the camera, not in front of LAW is out today! #booktok #booktrailer #books #newrelease #succubus #urbanfantasy #urbanfantasybooks #authorsoftiktok #demons ♬ original sound – Erin Fulmer – SFF Author My release day teaser video on TikTok. It also allows me to make Instagram Reels and TikTok vids without showing my face/appearing on video, things that make me incredibly self-conscious.
BOOK OF DEMONS TRAILER MOVIE
I have a visual imagination and tend toward a cinematic writing style, so it feels natural to approach trailers like a movie preview that uses text instead of a dramatic voiceover. Basically, the more creative I can be while making self-promo materials, the more I enjoy it. I don’t know whether it actually sells copies, but it’s fun and helps me get excited, so it’s worth it to me even though it can be time-consuming. So far, making trailers have been my favorite way of creating marketing materials for my books. It can be a lot of work to put one together so if it’s not something you enjoy, it’s absolutely not necessary for marketing. If you have tips or tricks I’ve missed, or if I get something wrong, please share.
Please note that I have no video production or graphics training and everything I do in this realm is self-taught. Several people have asked how I created the trailers I’ve been putting out for CAMBION’S LAW and expressed interest in a tutorial, so I’m going to share my process here. Instead, I’m going to talk about…BOOK TRAILERS! I will probably post more about that at some later date, but I don’t really have my thoughts assembled in coherent fashion today. And some other good things maaaay have happened behind the scenes that I can’t really talk about yet.Īnyway, I’m supposed to celebrate my accomplishments or something, so here: My best Amazon ranking from this week…pretty good for a small press non-Kindle Unlimited book with no shifters or vamps in it!īasically the week was a whole whirlwind of emotions that I still haven’t fully processed. My publisher has assured me the release was a strong success by their metrics, for which I’m extremely relieved and grateful. What a long strange week it’s been! My book launch for CAMBION’S LAW was a wild ride, though I’m starting to feel the comedown now (note to self: do NOT keep looking at my sales rank).
