Home/video book trailer
Social feeds move fast, and a static cover image rarely stops a thumb mid-scroll. A well-made video book trailer does. Australian Books Publishing produces professional book trailers that capture the mood of your story in seconds and turn casual viewers into curious readers.
A great trailer is storytelling, not just moving images and music. Scripting, storyboarding, choosing visuals, and matching a soundtrack are exactly where most authors get stuck. Our team handles all of it, shaping your ideas into a polished video that fits your book's theme, tone, and audience.
Whether you are launching a novel, memoir, business guide, or self-help book, a trailer gives you something to post, pin, and advertise — on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and your own author website. It is one asset you can use again and again throughout your launch.
Every trailer is produced to your brief and delivered in the formats each platform needs, so you can start promoting straight away — and the finished video is yours to keep and use however you like.
We start with your book, your readers, and your launch goals, then build a creative concept and shot-by-shot storyboard. You approve the direction before any production begins, so every second of the trailer earns its place.

Our Approach
A thriller trailer should feel nothing like a memoir trailer. Each video is built around your genre, tone, and key themes, with a short narrative arc that mirrors the tension, warmth, or excitement readers will find in your book.
Imagery, text, motion graphics, and sound are designed together rather than bolted on. The result is a trailer that feels seamless and immersive instead of like a slideshow with music over it.
You are involved at every stage, from the first concept to the final cut. Open communication and clear approval points mean there are no surprises when the finished trailer lands in your inbox.
Our Working Style
We shape the idea with you and draft a script and storyboard mapping the trailer's flow, shot by shot.
Professional editing, graphics, and visual effects bring the approved storyboard to life on screen.
Voiceover, licensed music, and sound effects are recorded, layered, and mixed for maximum impact.
Your trailer arrives in multiple formats and aspect ratios, ready to upload across every marketing channel you use.

Testimonials
My launch was completely flat until they rewrote my blurb and took over the ad management. Within a fortnight the book page finally started moving. The weekly reports were honest and easy to follow — no jargon, no excuses. I recommend their marketing team without hesitation.
I handed over a messy Word document and got back a clean eBook and a paperback that looks like it belongs in a bookshop window. No technical headaches, no endless back-and-forth — just a finished book I am genuinely proud to put my name on.
The audiobook was the part that intimidated me most, and they took the entire thing off my hands — narrator casting, recording, mastering, and uploading. The moment I heard the first sample, I stopped worrying about it completely.
