Nowhere Feels Like Home Book Trailer

Liana Gardner — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 13:00:25 +0000

I seem to be on a trend of book trailers at the moment, never mind I started this one two years ago and have finally finished it. This video shows some of the characters in the second book in the Misfit McCabe series.

Stuck in bed with a broken ankle and reeling from the loss of her father, her home, and life as she knew it, Katie McCabe must deal with her anger toward the town bully and a world that’s fallen apart. Being cooped up in the house with Uncle Charley and three overprotective cousins isn’t helping. Despite her new family’s good intentions, Katie feels like a lonely outsider. Will she ever be happy again?

New Misfit McCabe Book Trailer

Liana Gardner — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:00:29 +0000

I’ve been making several changes to my primary website and in the process added the Misfit McCabe book trailer to the front page of the site. Now this is a trailer that I made several years ago, then revised when I changed the cover of the book, but at the time of the revision, left the “old” color and font scheme, meaning to change it when I had a little more time. (Yeah, right!) And that time would be now. I have once again revised the Misfit McCabe book trailer. I hope you enjoy.

Finally on track . . .or not

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 06:39:00 +0000

Well, it has been a little bit of a technical curve, but I think we are finally on track. The first poll that I posted unfortunately lost the ability to accept votes. I hate when that happens, so I have reposted the poll and things are working much better now.

Ok – Murphy has been hanging around waaaayy too much today. . .Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, another glitch with the polls. If I am not logged in, I get an error displaying the poll information. Guests are supposed to be able to view and vote in this particular poll and it doesn’t help that they can’t even see the entry let alone vote.

If you are registered and logged in there is no problem. Oh well, back to technical support I go. . .

I have just completed making some book trailers to help promote my YA novel, Misfit McCabe and I am looking for some people to look at the book trailers and then vote for their favorite one. The winner of the vote will then be posted to YouTube, YVideo, etc. Along with that, if you leave any comments of what you liked, or didn’t like, you will automatically be entered into a contest to win an autographed copy of Misfit McCabe. In order to post comments, you do have to register because otherwise I won’t be able to find you should you be the winner.

Book Trailer Completed

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:43:00 +0000

Well, it has been a fun few days putting together the book trailer for Misfit McCabe and I think I have it finished. I am giving it a little time to settle in, to make sure I don’t want to do 25 more edits to it before posting it on YouTube, YVideo, etc.

I have posted the trailer to Griffie World, so if you’d like a sneak peek, click on book trailer.

All for now. Happy Reading!

Book Trailer or bust

Italia Gandolfo — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 08:18:00 +0000

Today has been about the book trailer. I have been searching for what I want to use and developing the concept. I have found the pictures that I want to use and have a part of the concept developed.

I am now trying out various software to assist me in putting the trailer together. I ran into a little bit of a snag because Windows Movie Maker is only importing 3:08 seconds of the video that I put together, but it may be due to the fact that the software used to create the video is a demo software. I will have to do some further testing.

The next step is to come up with the music to underscore the project and then I will be well on my way. Since it is late, that is all for now. I will continue to work on the trailer so I can get it completed and launched.

Joining Facebook

Liana Gardner — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:34:00 +0000

I joined my first social networking site today – FaceBook. So far, I am finding it a little frustrating, because they categorize groups and finding friends in a different manner than I would and the search functionality to me is a little cumbersome. Other than that, we will see.

My reason for joining was that Flamingnet.com, the young adult review site, is starting a Facebook presence, and I wanted to show my support for the site by joining as a fan.

I think that I am going to have to wait until this weekend to really be able to work on the book trailer for Misfit McCabe. I have been trying to devote some time to it, but have ended up getting involved in other things or had some distractions.

Developing a Book Trailer for Misfit McCabe

Katie McCabe — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:16:00 +0000

I have been doing my homework today and looking up book trailers on YouTube as I try to develop a book trailer for Misfit McCabe. A book trailer is a very good tool for marketing and in today’s publishing environment, pretty much a requirement. I haven’t started the process for obtaining all of the pictures that I want to use, or music for that matter as yet, but am starting by viewing book trailers in the young adult/juvenile fiction genre to see what I think works and what doesn’t work in my opinion.

I have taken some of the information posted by Brenda Coulter on her blog
No rules. Just write called Promoting Your Novel: How to Make a Book Trailer. I will keep track of my progress and setbacks via this blog.

I have seen some things I have liked, and some things I definitely haven’t so, I am starting to compile my list of things I want to include in the trailer. I definitely want it to be eye catching and to POP!

On with the homework.
