Class of 2k10 authors cranked it up a notch with book trailers you can show as an alternative to a traditional book talk. Got a projector? A screen? A computer or laptop? Maybe even a Smartboard? Turn up the volume, press play and let our book trailers charge them up for some great reads.

Show a prerecorded or live author chat via Skype. It’s like having the author live in your room without the travel cost. Students and teachers can even ask questions and show the author-completed activities. Still want that personal touch? Our authors are also available for book signings check our Book an Author page for an author near you.

Why not have your book club create a few book trailers of their own (after they’ve finished reading a title) and have a “Book Club Trailer Festival” that will rival Canes! Popcorn, fancy attire, and red carpet optional.
