How much does a book trailer cost?

Book trailer prices range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands. The spread isn't random. It comes down to length, how many scenes and characters appear, and how finished the sound and picture need to be.

What drives the price

Length: a 30-second teaser takes far less work than a 90-second launch film. Characters: every recurring face needs to stay consistent from shot to shot. Sound: original score and sound design add real time. Revisions: more rounds mean more hours.

Typical ranges

Short teasers for social media sit at the lower end. A full launch package — a trailer, a teaser, cutdowns for ads and character reveals — sits in the middle. Cinema-quality films made to pitch to producers or streaming platforms sit at the top.

How to budget

Plan the trailer around your launch, not after it. A trailer that arrives with cutdowns for Instagram, TikTok and ads works across your whole campaign, which makes each dollar go further.
