Here is my trailer for "Poems from Another Realm":

The Daughter of Man, The Black Witch, Hollowstone were my favorites -simple, intriguing, haunting. A book trailer should evoke the emotion of the book so the reader can imagine the characters & scenery on their own. Book trailers are not mini movies.
These are not necessarily books I would read, I just liked the way the trailers were formatted.
A book trailer I like is A Familiar Rain. http://johngeddes.ca/book-trailer/

Just wanted to add that I looked at another of your websites about making book trailers and I loved the Middle School book trailer. Yes, there are pictures, people, background etc, BUT BUT BUT.....what I loved is that the children were reading portions of the book - and that is entirely different than making them the characters. This trailer can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mL2Dyh5Gck

Thanks Ashley - these are some great examples! I really how creative these authors (or whoever designed their trailers) can demonstrate their stories. Although I am still very new to the fiction game, it seems to me that the music is a very important part of drawing people in. I was fortunate enough to get permission from one of my favorite bands to use one of their songs in the trailer for my forthcoming novel, ON TENTERHOOKS - http://greeverwilliams.com/?p=1263
I welcome any critiques or suggestions for improvement!
