YES! I trailer, and love it. Trailers are fun, that’s why I like to make them. Some trailers are easier to put together than others. I’m excited about producing TRANSFER STUDENT’s trailer. TRANSFER STUDENT is a sci-fi romance about Ashley, a Beverly Hills High School surfer fahsionista, and Rhoe, a boy geek alien, swapping lives when Rhoe’s teleporting experiment goes wrong. It’s a tricky trailer to put together because it’s hard to find video of teenage aliens. I’ve had people ask me if I can tie books sales to the trailers I make. I can’t. But I do know that making them has been a part of my process as a writer. Just like designing my covers. It’s great to sit back and visually represent a story after working so hard to tell it on paper. The art breathes new life into the words. It’s a little bit of magic. But, how do you put one together? It’s pretty easy. Here’s an article that will help you get you started.
These are the trailers I’ve produced for Winnemucca, a small-town fairy tale & 13 on Halloween, Book 1 in the Teen Halloween series:

Check out what my fellow Carnis have to say about trailers:
Love, love, love your trailers Laura!
I’m especially impressed how you can combine actual video footage with stills. Gorgeous, just gorgeous!!
Suzy, Thanks for swinging by! *waves* I had a lot of fun with the trailers and had friends and family weigh in. You can find stock video at istockphoto.com, you have to watch the prices…but I was able to find what I needed and kept my cost very low! Squeee:) HAPPY FRIDAY!
