You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.

Examples

See it in action.

“Jay Gatsby threw the party of the century to win back the woman he lost. But some dreams weren’t meant to survive the morning. Step inside the jazz, the longing, and the lie at the heart of the American Dream.”

Your book deserves to be found.

monthly active users across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

The #1 reason book trailers fail isn't quality — it's distribution. Algorithms reward accounts that post 3–5 times per week, every week. A single trailer posted to a new or personal account is invisible before it starts.

We post your trailer across all of our social channels to a warm, engaged audience of book lovers spanning every genre. You write the caption and point readers wherever you want — your site, your Amazon listing, your pre-order page.

Traditionally, $1,000–$20,000 through a production company, with weeks of turnaround. Booktrailer.io starts at $25/month — and your first trailer takes minutes, not weeks. (Sources: Film 14, Beverly Boy)

About an hour from start to finish. You paste your blurb, pick a style, and the AI generates your scenes, characters, and storyboard. Compare that to 1–3 weeks with a freelancer or 10–20 hours of DIY editing in a generic video tool.

Yes. Character consistency is a core feature. Your protagonist looks like the same person from the first frame to the last — same hair, same features, same clothing. This is one of the hardest problems in visuals crafted with AI, and it's built into every trailer.

Every visual is generated from your specific book — your characters, your settings, your story. Nothing is templated or recycled from stock footage. It won't be mistaken for live-action, but it will look polished, professional, and dramatically better than the slideshow templates that dominate the market.

Your trailer is just the start. Every character portrait, style, and scene you create is reusable — turn them into quote cards, chapter teasers, character reveals, countdown posts, and more. Enough content to post 3–5 times a week without starting from scratch.

Yes, 100%. You get full commercial rights to use your trailer anywhere — Amazon, social media, your website, paid ads.

Just a blurb, synopsis, or manuscript. You can paste text, upload a PDF/EPUB/DOCX, or just describe your book in a few sentences.
