2. Innovation by design | Creating Book Talks and Book Trailers for Libraries

   ^{share | edit}

   Here are some tips and tricks: 1. The book trailer should be between 1 – 3 minutes. 2. Introduce the title, author and suitable age range of readers. 3. If possible, include a graphic of the cover page. 4. Give a brief overview of the book, but don’t give too much away as the whole point is for the person to pick up the book and read it. I just hate it when a movie trailer gives away the entire plot line. 5. Use your own voice and possibly a head shot when talking about the book. 6. It may seem obvious, but pick a book you have read and would love to do as your first book trailer. Your enthusiasm will naturally come through. ^{link »}

   See if you can spot the "good practices" in writing for blogs/ social media. ^{link »}

   Use of hyerlinks ^{link »}

   Writing/ "speaking" to you as the reader, one to one. ^{link »}

   Think about his choice of words: "fighting", "hamstrung". ^{link »}

   More of the "fighting" analogy. Also, notice the use of whitespace and overall symmetry of the piece. ^{link »}

   Picture acts as a hook. Can you tell what it is? ^{link »}

   Another hook. ^{link »}

   The post doesn't quite tell you what is this event 40 years ago. But you can make a logical deduction from the clues. This is a way of "saying by not saying it". ^{link »}
