The Tessalation! book trailer

We have a book trailer for Tessalation! Share far and wide!

This trailer was put together by my amazing friend Wendy Dale of Genius Memoir Writing, based in Bolivia. Wendy's a fantastic memoir writer and teacher who is also doing screenwriting. There's not much she can't do, actually. 

Book trailers aren't really a new thing. But beyond actually giving you a book (which isn't done yet), and letting you leaf through it, they do a killer job of giving you the experience of experiencing the emotional journey of a picture book (or memoir, or novel, whatever your particular work is).

I didn't give Wendy any direction on the book trailer she and her partner, Helger made for me because, well, I didn't have to. They're professionals and they know what they're going for. Here's more information about Wendy's business and what she can offer you.

What I love most about how this book trailer turned out is:

• I don't sound like a complete idiot reading the thing (that's my voice!)
• The liveliness of the pictures comes through and draws you into the story
• The music is perfectly set up to capture my book's sense of whimsy-turned-adventure
• The timing on all of the frames is perfect -- new frames coming up exactly when they should build anticipation for the information that comes next. 
• The little narrative prompts that tell you about the journey the character is going on
• The testimonials. I'm thinking of calling them Tessamonials. Would that be too obnoxious?

Thank you, Wendy! I'm so thrilled with how this turned out!
