iUniverse Launches Book Trailers for Authors

Custom-Made, Creative Book Trailers Add Unique Marketing Tool for Authors

Bloomington, IN (PRWEB) April 15, 2009 -- iUniverse (www.iuniverse.com), the leading book marketing, editorial services, and supported self publishing (http://www.iuniverse.com/Why-IUniverse.aspx) company, has launched custom video book trailers - a powerful new marketing tool for iUniverse authors.

Authors can choose to have a professional voiceover for their 60- to 90-second custom-made book trailer. Each trailer, which has excellent Web streaming capability, can be easily downloaded to an iPod. It will also be featured on the author's iUniverse book page, as well as through popular Web sites including YouTube, Yahoo!, MySpace, and Dailymotion.

As with iUniverse book titles, authors maintain ownership of all rights to each book trailer produced. Voiced trailers will be distributed via e-mail to 500,000 interested readers; non-voiced trailers will be made available to 200,000 readers.

"The custom video book trailers are an exciting tool iUniverse authors can use to promote and sell their books. With the popularity of viral media on the Web, the potential for distribution is endless," said Keith Ogorek, vice president of marketing for Author Solutions, Inc. - iUniverse's parent company.
