A book cover may capture attention for a moment, but a trailer gives readers a reason to stop, watch, and connect with your story.
In just a few seconds, a well-crafted video can create curiosity, introduce your book’s atmosphere, and encourage readers to discover more. This shift in how books are promoted is why many authors and independent publishers in Dublin now include video trailers in their launch strategies.
A professional trailer brings your story to life and helps your book stand out across the digital platforms where readers spend their time.

A book trailer is more than a cover with music behind it. It should capture the feeling of your story and create curiosity that encourages readers to explore further. We create trailers around your book’s genre, tone, and audience, whether it is a literary novel, thriller, memoir, or non-fiction title.
Not every trailer earns the watch time it needs. A few things separate a trailer that gets shared from one that gets scrolled past without a second look.
We provide professional book video trailers that Dublin authors and small presses use for launches, pre-orders, and everyday social media marketing, including:
Before you hire anyone for this kind of work, it is worth asking a few honest questions. This applies whether you come to us or go elsewhere.
A trailer will not replace good writing or a strong cover, but it does a few things a cover on its own cannot do.
A short call or an email chat about your book, your audience, your budget, and what you actually want the trailer to achieve for you. There is no obligation at this stage, and we are happy to answer questions before you decide anything.
You get a short outline of what the trailer will include, the style, the rough length, and a fixed price before any work begins on your project, so there are no surprises later.
We put together the visuals, the text, the pacing, and a first pass of music, then send the draft over for your feedback and comments, usually within the timeframe agreed at the quote stage.
Most projects include at least one round of changes as standard. We want the finished trailer to feel like your book, not like ours, so this stage matters and we do not rush it.
You receive the finished video in formats ready for YouTube, Instagram, your website, and Amazon Author Central, if that is something you use, along with a shorter cut for social media if you would like one.
Our book publishing Dublin service covers the full journey, not just the final print run. Every Dublin book publishing project we take on begins with a proper look at the manuscript, so we understand exactly what stage you are at and what your book actually needs next.
We publish books across the platforms most authors use today, including Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other global distributors. Whether you want a print book, an ebook, or both, we help you choose the right format and route for your goals. Whether you are planning a small print run or a wider release, every book publication project in Dublin gets the same attention from our team, from formatting checks right through to final proofing.
Explore Book PublishingWe offer developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading, depending on what stage your manuscript is at. Our editors focus on structure, clarity, and accuracy, while keeping your tone and your voice exactly as you intended it. You will always get notes explaining why a change was suggested, not just a marked-up page with no context.
Explore Book EditingWe provide ghostwriting support across fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, business books, self-help, and children’s stories. Our writers work closely with you, turning your ideas, notes, or recorded conversations into a manuscript that still sounds like you. Drafts are shared regularly along the way, so you can steer the direction of the book before too much work goes in the wrong way.
Explore Ghostwriting ServicesWe design covers for fiction, non-fiction, academic books, and children’s titles, in both print and digital formats. From illustrated concepts to clean, simple typography, our designers build covers that suit your genre and catch a reader’s eye. We usually offer a few different directions to choose from, rather than a single take it or leave it design.
Explore Cover DesignWe format manuscripts for novels, academic texts, children’s books, and non-fiction titles. Every layout is prepared for paperback, hardback, and ebook versions, so your file meets the technical requirements of each platform before it goes live. Small details, like consistent chapter headings and clean page breaks, get checked carefully before anything is approved.
Explore Book FormattingWe help you plan a launch, prepare online listings, build simple author branding, and run targeted campaigns where it makes sense. The goal is straightforward: get your book in front of the readers most likely to actually enjoy it, rather than spreading a small budget too thin across everyone.

Pricing depends on the style of trailer, its length, and whether we are filming, animating, or editing footage you already have. A simple text and image trailer costs less than a full production with licensed footage and voiceover work, since there is less to source and less time spent in the edit. Rush turnaround, original music, and professional voiceover artists will also affect the final price, and we will always flag these clearly at the quote stage rather than adding them in later.
Our book video trailer packages in Dublin range from a short animated teaser through to a full cinematic-style trailer, and we will always confirm a fixed quote before any work begins on your video.
We try to keep this an affordable book trailer service Dublin authors can actually plan around, especially if you are working with a tight self-publishing budget. Every quote includes at least one round of revisions, so the price you agree to is the price you pay, not a starting figure that grows once changes come up. Get in touch with a short description of your book, and we will give you a straightforward price with no pressure to commit to anything.
It is a way to introduce your story, create an emotional connection, and give potential readers a reason to take the next step. Whether you are launching your first book or promoting an established title, the right trailer can help your work reach a wider audience. At Dublin Publishing Press, we create tailored video trailers that reflect your book’s unique voice, style, and message. Get in touch with us today to discuss your project and discover how we can help your book get noticed.
If you have a book coming out and want people to actually stop scrolling and pay attention, a trailer is one of the simplest ways to do that. Send us a few lines about your book, and we will tell you honestly what kind of trailer would suit it best, and what it would cost to make. No pressure, just a straight answer from a real person in Dublin.
Most projects take two to four weeks from the first chat to final delivery, depending on the style chosen and how quickly feedback comes back to us during the review stage.
It depends on the style and length you choose. A simple animated trailer costs less than a full production trailer built with licensed footage and voiceover. We always confirm a fixed price before any work starts, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
No. Most of our work is done remotely by email and by phone, even for clients based here in Dublin. If footage needs to be filmed in person, we will arrange that separately with you.
Yes. We usually build the trailer around your existing cover art, along with any author photos or event footage you are happy to share with us, rather than starting from a blank page.
Most trailers run between thirty seconds and ninety seconds. Long enough to say something real about the book, short enough that people actually watch it through to the end without losing interest.
Yes. We deliver files sized correctly for the main platforms, so you are not left reformatting the video yourself before you can post it anywhere.
No. We make trailers for fiction, non-fiction, memoir and poetry collections based in and around Dublin. The style simply changes to suit the type of book, and we will talk through what fits yours during our first chat.
Tell us about your manuscript and a publishing consultant will come back to you within 24 hours — with an honest assessment and no obligation.
