The first poll that I posted unfortunately lost the ability to accept votes. I hate when that happens, so I have reposted the poll and things are working much better now.

Ok – Murphy has been hanging around waaaayy too much today. . .Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, another glitch with the polls. If I am not logged in, I get an error displaying the poll information. Guests are supposed to be able to view and vote in this particular poll and it doesn’t help that they can’t even see the entry let alone vote.

If you are registered and logged in there is no problem. Oh well, back to technical support I go. . .

The winner of the vote will then be posted to YouTube, YVideo, etc. Along with that, if you leave any comments of what you liked, or didn’t like, you will automatically be entered into a contest to win an autographed copy of Misfit McCabe. In order to post comments, you do have to register because otherwise I won’t be able to find you should you be the winner.

To view the book trailers (there are 3 of them), go to my website Griffie World .
View the trailers, then click on the link for Griffie World Talk to the right and cast your vote.

I look forward to all of your feedback.

All for now. Happy Reading!

I have been searching for what I want to use and developing the concept. I have found the pictures that I want to use and have a part of the concept developed.

I am now trying out various software to assist me in putting the trailer together. I ran into a little bit of a snag because Windows Movie Maker is only importing 3:08 seconds of the video that I put together, but it may be due to the fact that the software used to create the video is a demo software. I will have to do some further testing.

The next step is to come up with the music to underscore the project and then I will be well on my way. Since it is late, that is all for now. I will continue to work on the trailer so I can get it completed and launched.

A book trailer is a very good tool for marketing and in today’s publishing environment, pretty much a requirement. I haven’t started the process for obtaining all of the pictures that I want to use, or music for that matter as yet, but am starting by viewing book trailers in the young adult/juvenile fiction genre to see what I think works and what doesn’t work in my opinion.

I have taken some of the information posted by Brenda Coulter on her blog
No rules. Just write called Promoting Your Novel: How to Make a Book Trailer. I will keep track of my progress and setbacks via this blog.

I have seen some things I have liked, and some things I definitely haven’t so, I am starting to compile my list of things I want to include in the trailer. I definitely want it to be eye catching and to POP!

On with the homework.
