The purpose of a book trailer, ultimately, is to bring attention and readers to a book and its author.
With the increased use of multi and social media, Book Trailers have been up and coming over the past couple of years, and have increased in popularity among both authors and readers. Writers increasingly see the value in offering Book Trailers to their current and potential readers, and are eager to let this medium help them expand their fan base and sales of their books.
Most blockbusters movies have a trailer. So why not apply the same concept when promoting a book in order to let the potential reader gain valuable insight into the book’s content, while ultimately supporting the author in reaching a broader audience?

Many authors decide to give a DIY Trailer a try, only to find out that the acquisition of stock images and music is simply out of their budget. Sites offering the production of Book Trailers are even more expensive, most demanding a steep $250 or higher for a 1 to 2 minute clip.
In response to an increasing demand for a truly affordable alternative, Yvonne Jones founded LoewenHerz-Creative™, a small design firm specializing in the promotion of books of all genres with the production of exciting and innovative Book Trailers.
“I created a couple of Trailers for two of my award-winning and bestselling author friends and realized that I really enjoyed the process of producing them,” says Jones. “Over the past couple of months, I have been able to work with wonderful authors and created an extensive portfolio of trailers. Most of my clients have been referrals from satisfied writers. I simply love to be able to combine my passion with helping fellow authors promote their work!”

'Six of Hearts' by L.H. Cosway and 'Elicit' by Rachel Van Dyken both have the same Cover, with minor variations.....I wonder if that could be confusing for some readers? It is certainly distracting for me.
