Are video trailers effective marketing tools for marketing fiction.

I have no idea!

I've made four teaser trailers and one book trailer for my book RADIUS 200. They can be viewed on my Goodreads page.

Any suggestions/feedback regarding where and how I should project them would be more than welcome

I seldom watch them, at least for long. Gripping, dynamic book trailers are the exception. Most tell you the whole story with insipid music in the background and get boring fast. Just my opinion, not having seen your trailers which might be great.

Like anything else, when they were a novelty, they got some attention. Now they have to be spectacular enough on their own to earn viral eyeballs.

My favorite is the one for Inherent Vice, because it features the voice of the reclusive Thomas Pynchon himself. Apart from that there's nothing special about it, hehe.

Why do the Radius 200 teaser trailers have a sound that is reminiscent of a bathroom?

It's actually the sound of a waterfall!

And Nancy I'd really love to bathe in a bathroom that sounds like a waterfall...

Hi Tobias,
I see our taste in books is 87% similar, so I have sent you a friend request.
Would you be interested in reviewing my book Radius 200, due for release on Kindle on April 23rd?
