What is a book trailer, in plain words
A book trailer is a short video teaser for a book — not a full plot summary, but an emotional hook. Like a movie trailer for your story: atmosphere, key images, sometimes voiceover, then cover or title.
Schools and libraries often make trailers for reading contests. Self-published authors use them on YouTube, social feeds, and book pages.

Why authors choose Oliviabook
Not a generic slideshow — trailers built from your book context.
Book context built in
Genre, synopsis, lore, and cover flow into the builder — no copy-paste across tools.
Genre directing
Story archetypes — one moment, mystery, emotion, montage, portal — so AI shapes an arc, not random clips.
Timeline control
Two tracks: scenes and voiceover with timestamps. Edit every second after AI.
Reach readers
Active trailers appear on Reader Portal — readers watch on the book page.
