What Our Book Trailer Services Include

Video is one of the fastest ways to show readers the mood of your book. A good trailer gives them a taste and leaves them wanting more.

  • Cinematic Book Trailers

    We write a short script, then build the trailer with motion graphics, licensed footage, music and sound. Each one captures the feel of your story in under a minute.

  • Author Interview Videos

    Readers love to meet the person behind the book. So we help you record a short, friendly interview, then edit it into clips you can post for weeks.

  • Formats for Every Platform

    You get vertical videos for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, plus wide versions for YouTube, your website and ads.

  • Licensed Music and Footage

    Every clip, image and track is licensed for commercial use. As a result, your videos are safe to post and promote.

How Our Trailer Process Works

You always know which stage your video is at and who is working on it.

  1. 01

    Story Brief

    First, we read your blurb and talk about your readers. Then we agree on the mood and the key moments to show.

  2. 02

    Script and Storyboard

    Next, we write a short script and plan each shot. You approve it before we build anything.

  3. 03

    Video Production

    Then we create the trailer with footage, motion text, music and sound effects.

  4. 04

    Review and Delivery

    Finally, you review a draft and ask for changes. After that, you get final files for every platform.

Video Built Around Your Launch

A trailer works best as part of a plan. So we time your videos around your launch, from cover reveal to release day and beyond. That way, each clip has a clear job, whether it is building buzz or driving pre-orders.

We keep trailers short and focused. Most readers decide in the first three seconds whether to keep watching. So we open with your strongest image or line, then build to a clear call to action.

Your trailer fits right into a wider book launch plan and our book promotion services. It also works best with a strong cover from our book cover design services.

What our authors say

  • For a memoir, readers need to connect with the author as much as the story. The author interview video Ordwick produced for me felt incredibly natural and authentic. Because their in-house team already knew the emotional core of my book, their interview questions were thoughtful and direct. It instantly established trust with my audience before they even bought the book.

    David K.

    Memoirist

  • I've hired video agencies before, and they usually just skim the back cover blurb. Because Ordwick’s video producers work right alongside the editorial team, they actually understood the nuances of my business framework. The promotional video they produced highlighted the exact selling points my readers care about, rather than just hitting generic technical notes.

    Elena S.

    Executive Coach

  • I had no idea how to optimize video for different platforms. Ordwick took all the guesswork out of my launch. They delivered a cinematic, widescreen version for my author website and Amazon page, plus perfectly paced vertical cuts for my social media. Having all those formats correctly sized and ready to go made my launch week completely stress-free.

    Sarah L.

    Indie Novelist

  • Ordwick didn't just publish my book; they treated it like a piece of architecture. Every font choice, every margin, every marketing move was intentional and precise.
