After wrapping the Sit-Com Pilot (Prescribed) in 2010, Grayson met western re-enactor, friend, and film associate Jason Ramirez, to collaborate on the Pilot Westish: Deadwood meets The Office. A few westerns followed, and with them, a number of amazing resources: locales, period wardrobe, props, stunt men, and the list continues to grow.
That crew has stayed intact, finding a home at Novel Trailers. No genre is out of our reach. Whether it's Sci-Fi, Period Drama or YA, we have the best of everything to fulfill the writers original vision. Every member brings their own unique passion (Production Design, Sound, Wardrobe, Coaching) and love for their craft. Our core has several Features, Shorts, Pilots, and Network Episodics to their credit. |

FAQs
What is Novel Trailers doing in response to COVID-19?
The safety of all our crew members and authors are essential to us. We have taken all precautions to ensure that our crew will be protected on set and further measures will be taken in the event of suspected infection. Under our safety protocols, we will be able to continue producing work for our authors during this unprecedented time.
What is the purpose of a book trailer?
A book trailer is a visual production used to introduce and market a book to people and companies through the internet. The trailer captures the attention of people that may not otherwise find the author’s book in the dense jungle. A well-produced book trailer not only boosts the visibility of the author and book, but strengthens an author’s digital brand.
Are there different kinds of book trailers?
Yes. You will see everything from a simple power point presentation that describes the book, to a voice-over with images, to our formula, featuring an intriguing full scene from the actual book. At Novel Trailers, we strive to produce the perfect scenes that accurately represent our authors’ visions, going beyond what a slideshow with narration offers. We work to ensure that audiences will be drawn to the stories before reading it.
Why would anyone use a scene from a book?
Authors cite several reasons for using a 30 – 90 second trailer depicting a scene from their books. The reason is to advertise and sell more
books. It is a creative way to build your brand and bring people to your social media accounts. Not to mention a phenomenal “live” visual aid for signings and book tours. Traffic normally increases, and audiences are captured by the scene in your trailer. The curiosity of what happened before or after the scene drives people, not just avid readers, to read the book. The investment is well worth the potential rewards.

What is the proper length of a trailer?
A 90 second – 2 minute trailer allows for editing to different lengths that can be used on various social platforms – whether you are looking for a few seconds to post on Facebook, a one minute version for Instagram, or the full length for websites, YouTube and other outlets. The flexibility of a 90 second - 2 minute trailer provides many options.
What about spoilers?
Spoilers are controlled by the author. Rather then spoiling an explosive story twist, an engaging scene should be chosen to generate interest, not to give away the story.
What does a trailer look like?
Trailers have different looks and feels that help define the author’s vision and mood of the book.
