This is very helpful, and sounds like a great contest! I'm glad you posted these entries--I'm finding it very instructive to look at different people approach book trailers--very timely to find this happening right here!

I opened this up to lament the fact I don't have a book or a trailer...but after scrolling through all those entries I'm going to switch gears and thank you for compiling a shopping list for me!

Hi Diane :-)

Happy New Year from Southern California. No snow here but a lot of rain storms and mud slides!

I hope you and your family had a Wonderful Christmas Celebration.

God Bless You, ~Ron

OH neat! I wish I was hip with the trailer making but unfortunately my talents are few. Cool contest though!

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Wow, 18 entries! Might have to do two rounds of voting...

Okay, I wanted to vote for four of them, dammit, lol!

Most of them were good and a few were excellent. Hard to choose between the excellent ones, sigh...

This is cool, Diane.
