It generally gets me interested in at least researching the book and seeing if it’s something I’d like to add to my TBR pile.

I’ve also played around and made some silly little ones for my WiPs, just because I like playing around with making movies. :)

I have noticed one thing though, music is key. I’ve seen many a crap movie ’cause there was an intense song in the trailer that made the plot look equally as intense (re: I am Number Four).

Unlike movies though, books trailers aren’t what entice me to read. They’re really just a fun way to enhance the reading experience after the fact, for me anyways.

If anything, the book is even cooler than the trailer.

If they’re slapped together, hard to follow, have obnoxious music, or just generally look half baked, then they could turn people off a book. I was lucky in that my husband is both a professional photographer and musician, so I had lots of resources for my trailer. It would be cool if DGLM had a spot for its writers’ trailers. Here’s the link to mine for Restoring Harmony. http://joelleanthony.com/restoring-harmony-book-trailer/
