Sometimes, all you need is some simple movement to make a cover stand out...

Times have changed since I read this as a lad... but i have to say, I miss beige pages packed with endless paragraphs in micro-font text!

If you've had to confirm your age with KWS for Bluesky did you choose to confirm with your face or your credit card? I chose the latter in case they thought anyone who looked like me was really an old-man silicone mask.

True or False? Writing the book is one thing... Marketing it? That’s a whole other story! Children’s authors: ever found yourself staring at a blank screen, wondering what to post next? #ChildrensAuthor #AmMarketing

Totally agree with this. I (currently) use Adobe Stock every day and the plethora of AI created 'stuff' id killing the whole collection. Seriously considering ending my subscription. www.creativebloq.com/ai/ai-art/de... #adobe #ai

I've created a *Feed* for Book Trailers. If you want to share a trailer - made by anyone (not just me!), you can add it by including 3 words: 'book, trailer, irontree' somewhere in your post. Please Like and Share... oh, and don't forget to pin the Feed too 👍 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Authors, captivate a ton of new readers by adding a little narration to your social media posts - get them immersed in your stories without even realising it.

I'm really enjoying the Sky production of 'The Jackal' (the Eddie Redmayne version) and also love the title sequence. I challenged myself to see if I could make a version of it in just one hour - here's the result:

Here's a little video I put together just for fun! It's compressed quite a lot so the render quality isn't great... but let me know what you think. Can you identify both movies (easy)?

I've just spent an enjoyable time updating the front page of my website to feature a couple of new book trailers. (and also to add an 'AI' statement just in case people thought the media-magic was 'artificial'... it's not). If you want a closer look, it's here: irontree.co.uk

As well as book trailers, I also create animated extracts. Here's my favourite sample from Stephen King's novella, "The Body". [sound on] #narration #bookpromotion #11labs

If you've written more than one book - don't worry. A book teaser can feature an entire series, like this one for Helen Haraldsen's brilliant "Amber's Pony Tales" series. Check the books out here: amzn.to/3VehDPc #ChildrensBooks #Pony #BookTrailers
