New manual HOW TO MAKE BOOK VIDEOS FOR FREE..Member discount

Hi everybody

I just completed a really comprehensive manual on how to make your own book "trailer" videos.
It's NOT a book for vid freaks, it is directed specifically to the purpose of enabling writers with no special skills in video work to produce videos for their books. Including legal original music, animated graphic titles. There is a "Quick, Easy" section for people who just have a cover shot and want to produce something nice really fast without a learning curve.

All this using FREE programs, graphics, sounds, music, etc.

It's primarily slanted to Windows users, but has sections on other platforms: and those who use Mac iMovies instead will still find the voluminous links to resources worth the low price.

It's a PDF document, viewable on any computer alive and requiring no purchase of special reader other than Adobe.

For one week I'm making it available to Published Authors members at a 33% discount: your total cost $4 USD. Paypal and credit cards accepted.

Click the banner below to see the "limited time only" buy button, and the side links that will show you more information on the manual--including one of the online videos that demonstrate the tips and techniques in the manual.

This is not an ordinary pdf document, more like a specialized eBook. The publisher is keeping prices extremely low because their line will be for shoestring publishers and writers who want to create professional looking marketing tools without having to be come graphics or video or marketing pros.

And, of course, I would really welcome any comments, feedback or nitpicking on this document. This is the first offer of it anywhere.

Lin was kind enough to send me an earlier version of this manual (for review and editorial comments), and I must say, it is by far the most comprehensive manual on how to make book trailers. Covering anything and everything, I was really surprised at its overall depth.

I've done five book trailers, and now I have to rethink them all. Glad to see that this is finally out - it is well worth the cost (which is really nothing).

This looks like a great deal to me since I don't know how to do videos and don't want to pay other people $1000000000000000 every time I need a new one.

As I have been known to say, "I don't know squat" about trailers, videos, stc. But it sounds like a great deal and a good way to learn. After seeing your poetry videos, lin, I'm sold!

Say.... this thing is slanted right at both of you. :-)

To expand on what I mentioned before, this isn't about cameras and things, and not attempting to produce professionals.

It's to help people like us make book videos. Period.

The emphasis, unlike any vid-making book you run into, is on the use of pictures...such as your cover ahot and "bio" picture.
Thing is, if you examine a lot of vids out there, that's all they have... a cover and some cards with titles on them.

Of course you can always grab a picture somewhere (and beleive me I've got lists of "somewheres") or a sword or plane or castle of swooning maiden or whatever...and jazz it up into something impressive.

THIS REEL shows some examples of that sort of thing, easy to do and explained in the manual.

Okay, I got my file but I will have to set it on the back burner for a short while. Too many irons and not enough fires to put them in at the moment. But you have me excited to start playing with it.

Aha, so that was you! Well bless your heart. Have fun and let me know your thoughts on it.

I've ordered my copy, too. Can't wait to give it a try!
