Book Trailers

Like movie trailers, “book trailers” are short video teasers intended to give potential readers an idea of the vibe and atmosphere of your book. Book trailers are generally 1:00 to 1:20. If you’re interested in working with Lisa on a video project, see the Contact page on this site to start a conversation.
