Karen, I loved the book trailer but the grandmother in me did a slight sigh that it wasn’t a child’s voice reading it. I’m certainly no expert, but I think that would pop the interest tenfold.
Karen, thank you so much for all the information you give on making a book trailer! You have no idea how much I appreciate all of your tips. We are developing a new website for our children’s book and I have been wondering how we could go about making a trailer or YouTube. Your book is cute!

Karen,
Congratulations on a well written and timely piece. Every new writer should tap into this. And we old timers can appreciate the specific suggestions for background music, etc.
Thanks so much for the great idea. Because my nonfiction is dense material I think doing a Book Trailer in this style would actually be an excellent idea. It takes me back to when I was a kid and loved comics. Cosmic comics, in the case of my nonfiction. Thanks, Karen. I appreciate you sharing.
