I am placing book trailers on my blog to help promote authors. If you are interested please send me an email that includes the link to your trailer.

Thank you SO Much for this information, it's pretty sweet. Just created my first book trailer (http://youtu.be/CtIUWO27C0M) and hoping to get in across more channels that GR and YT. THank yoU!!!

The site automatically post your trailer or any post via your twitter if you hash your tweet as: #booktrailer
You can then manage it on http://www.BookStreams.com

Wow, Abe. The Book Streams site is really rocking now. Hope Ten Thousand Prayers is selling well.

Yes, I receive on average 15 trailer posts daily on BookStreams. I try to remove the duplicate posts. I will start marketing the site in February with some PRs and Tweets.
Also, the paperback of my book will be available on Amazon tomorrow. Do you remember the excitement of your first book release? :)

Oh congratulations. Send me the link and I'll post it on my facebook page and do some twittering :-)

Hello Fellow Authors:
I'm looking to publish my next book this year. It will be in bilingual style.
Right now, I'm still waiting to hear if any of you can give me some feed back on the Tate Publishing company. How about it?

Hey Nina and good luck.

You may want to check out these sites.

You should always check Preditors and Editors before you go with any publisher or agent, check them here.

Tate is a subsidy publisher, which means that they charge you to publish your work. That's not the way it's supposed to work. Probably better to self publish. Many big publishers won't look at your work unless you have an agent. So you need to query agents. Some smaller publishers may look at new authors work, including many e publishers, many of whom do move their books to print on demand. My book, Vision of Shadows, is with an e publisher waiting to be edited, but that's how I got my first contract.

Some other things to check out.

Great blog from an agent to look at to learn how to write a query letter.

& Best of all!!!

It's a writers community. Tons of places for help writing, querying, promoting, etc. You can start threads on topics you need help in. Post work (After 50 posts) for feedback. Places to brainstorm, connect, etc. See the cover for my book? I connected with the graphic artist on that group.

It's also a great community. Plenty of people to cheer you on, or give advice or just hang out with.

My name there is Vince524.

Let me know if I can help any other way.

Watched, liked and left a comment. Nice video.

Here is a fun,short video taken of the girl who played Corey in my book trailer for Can You hear the Music?. My son caught it on film, added music and a tag at the end. It is a public link, so even if you aren't on FB you can watch.

Great!

Not sure if this is the place to post this or if there is a place to promote audio books. My book, Can You Hear the Music? (book trailer link is on this thread) is now an audio book.

Check out this link. Can You Hear the Music's video is there under General fiction.

That is wonderful; congratulations! I'm not surprised.

Thank you, Nina.

Check out some of the visual effects video on my You Tube site, showing how some are done for the book trailer. I would really appreciate it.

Sandra, that was just wonderful watching how every element made the end result and masterpiece. Truly, thank you for sharing how it's all done!
Girl, you might just how a film in the makings with something like this beauty.

Thank you, Nina. my son did all the work on the trailer and special effect. He did the filming and editing, too. I could never have afforded to hire people to do all those things. I will pass your comment on to him.

Thanks; it is well-deserving of him. I'm still working on my manuscript; it's going to be in bilingual. And can't wait to see what kind of trailer I'll have for the story. Well, wish me luck!

you guys can also blog about your book and put your trailers up on Glipho blog. it is a fast growing blog with many audience. That is where I post the trailers I made for authors through fiverr. fiverr.com/jasveena

The trouble with sharing your link is that its so fabulous that all other trailers pale in comparison.

This is movie quality. Your son is incredibly talented. And the actors he used are superb.
