I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:
Having Tim Curry as a narrator is probably outside of the range of what we can afford as SF/F writers, but still. Let’s go over what makes this awesome:
My After Effects and Premiere skills are pretty rusty, but I think I’m going to try and add them back into my skillset. I have a voice actor studio I’ve done work with in Denver at the old day job, and so I think I could probably offer a decently affordable, high quality book trailer service. Youtube is the third most visited website on the web. It’s power to bring your book before a new audience is unparalleled. I’d really like to offer a service to tap into that power.
Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but call me Jeremy. I am a writer, photographer, and web designer currently living in Northern Colorado, seeking either freelance web design work or fulltime employment.

As a designer, I’m always stumbling across useful resources and tools online, but for whatever reason, I find fewer tools that really exist to help make writers’ lives easier. That doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. It just means you have to dig a little deeper. Today, I thought I would share some tools that [...]
At least in the science fiction community, there’s a lot of false community wisdom floating around about the editorial process. Some of them may have been true once. Some were probably invented to mess with the heads of noobs. Some of them are carefully nutured lies, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Well, no [...]
That seems like an unusual idea, doesn’t it? That wielding a camera to capture single moments in time really has anything valuable to add to the process of writing stories? But it has, I think. Each time I pick up the camera, I think about writing, and each time I write, I think about [...]
