Official Book Trailer!
First comes research. Many hours of phone calls. Trips around the country and around the world.
Next comes writing. Late nights and early mornings going over every word until you can’t see straight.
Now, the part that some authors hate but I tend to love. The promoting and marketing and speaking and selling and finally watching as other people enjoy the story.
A million things go into this last part. Event planning. Podcast interviews. Social media blitzes. A pile of tasks that keeps on coming. Among the pile was one task that seemed at first to be over the top. A book trailer is a great idea, they said. But isn’t it expensive, I wondered? Yes, but surely you have someone in your orbit who can do something like this for you and not break the bank, they said.
Bart Garton, you creative genius. Thank you for your time, your attention to detail and your passion for this project. Seeing you get sucked into Christine’s story just as much as I had was a joy and I loved every minute of keeping it in the family.
With gratitude, Johanna
