The most common mistake in book trailers is trying to tell the whole story. A good trailer works like a movie teaser: it sets a mood, raises a question, and stops before answering it. The American Book Services writes a short script built around one strong hook from your book, then pairs it with visuals, music, and text that suit your genre.
Trailers can be built from licensed stock footage, motion graphics, animated illustrations from your book, or a mix. Live action shoots with actors are possible but cost considerably more, and for most books, well-chosen footage and motion design work just as well.
You get the editors, designers, and publishing know-how of a traditional house, but your book stays under your name and your control. You decide on the cover, the price, and where it sells.
Every project starts with a detailed consultation about your story, your readers and your goals. We get to know the book properly before writing, editing, or design begins, so the finished work reflects what you set out to say.
We do not take a share of your sales, and we never ask for your copyright or publishing rights. Every platform account is set up in your name, and the earnings go straight to you.
You see the cost of each service before work starts. You approve every file before anything is published, and you always know what stage your book is at.
A dedicated project manager keeps your schedule on track and replies when you have a question. If something on our side runs late, you hear it from us first.
We publish your book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Kobo. We also set it up with IngramSpark, so bookstores and libraries in many countries can order copies.
We can help build your author brand and plan your launch. That covers social media, Amazon ads, A+ Content, author pages, and press features, all aimed at the readers most likely to buy your book.
Here is what each trailer project includes.
Horizontal, vertical, and square versions are delivered as agreed for your project.

A trailer will not sell a book on its own, but it gives you something people actually want to watch and share during your launch. The American Book Services makes trailers that fit your genre and the platforms where your readers spend time. Let us know your launch date and where you plan to post, and we will put together a trailer plan.
Start ProjectHorror trailers rely on silence and sudden sound. Romance trailers lean on warm color and emotion. Fantasy trailers often use sweeping music and glimpses of the world. Children's book trailers bring your actual illustrations to life with gentle animation. Nonfiction trailers work best with clear text, real faces, and a direct statement of what the reader will gain. We plan the look and sound of your trailer around what your readers respond to.
Start Project
Using a popular song or a movie clip in your trailer can get the video muted or taken down. We use only licensed music, footage, and fonts, and we keep records of those licenses for you. If you want a voiceover, we can cast a professional voice artist, or use the narrator from your audiobook so your book sounds the same everywhere. Start your book trailer with The American Book Services.

Our writers, editors, proofreaders, and designers have worked on novels, memoirs, nonfiction, children’s books, business titles, and academic writing. Every project is different, and we treat it that way, matching each book with people who know its genre and its readers. On the visual side, our illustrators and cover designers make sure each book looks as good as it reads, in print and online. Take a look at some of the books we have worked on.
Most authors end up juggling an editor, a designer, and a publisher, each with their own timeline. At The American Book Services, one team handles it all. That covers writing support, editing, proofreading, covers, illustrations, formatting, publishing, and promotion. You pick what your book needs and skip what it does not. You approve every step; your book is published under your name, and every royalty it earns goes straight to you.
Let’s Get Started
Before contacting us you might want to check whether your question is one of our FAQs.
At The American Book Services, we offer a complete range of writing and editing services, including book writing, ghostwriting, fiction writing, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading.

At The American Book Services, our design and illustration services include custom cover design, full print wraps with spine and back cover, interior formatting for print and eBook, and original illustrations such as character art, maps, and graphics.

Yes. At The American Book Services, you keep 100% of the rights to your book, including your manuscript, cover, and artwork, and you make the final decisions on content, pricing, and distribution.

At The American Book Services, timelines depend on the services your book needs.

Before any work begins, we give you a clear schedule with a date for every stage.
At The American Book Services, pricing depends on the services you choose, the length of your book, and the level of work involved. We do not force you into fixed packages, so you pay only for what your book actually needs. You receive a detailed written quote before work begins, with no hidden fees.
Yes. At The American Book Services, nothing is published without your approval. You review and sign off on your outline, edits, cover design, and final proofs, and a dedicated project manager keeps you informed and answers your questions throughout the process.
