April 17, Food for Thought: Book Trailers and online promotion. Several SCBWI-IL authors and illustrators will share their experiences creating book trailers and other on-line promotional tools for the picture book, middle grade, and YA markets. Both content and the how to’s of book trailers and online promotions will be covered. We will also consider what kinds of response actual trailers have received.
Our panel includes:
Host, librarian, and blogger Amy Alessio.
Picture book illustrator Larry Day whose Nanook and Pryce has a website and book trailer--
YA writer Laura Ruby. Check out her trailer for Play Me
And me. I'll be talking about how and why I made these two trailers for Jemma Hartman, Camper Extraordinaire.
This Food for Thought is intended for published and soon-to-be-published writers and illustrators who are members of SCBWI.
Here are the details:
Schaumberg Township District Library, Youth Services Classroom, 130 S. Roselle Rd., Schaumburg, IL 60193

I'm headed there soon and looking forward to it!
Thanks so much, Brenda, for a very informative, fun and funny presentation! I went right home and made my trailer - I think it's pretty good! I never would have attempted it had you not shown us how easy and fun it can be! I'll let you know when my trailer goes live :-)
Lori, that's awesome! I can't wait to see it.
