What is a book trailer?
When a movie comes out, a little visual clip is created to promote the movie. This short video that summarize as well as entices viewing of the movie is called a trailer. Well, now books have trailers made by fans or their publishers too! A book trailer offers a video for the book, and this video only helps to make people want to read the book!
