Book Trailer Contest
I need a book trailer, therefore I am hosting a book trailer contest. I am looking for some unique and eye catching marketing for my new book that has been published. The trailer needs to include at a minimum the following information:
Book Title: “Longbourn’s Unexpected Matchmaker”
Author Name: Emma Hox
Publisher’s Name: Rhemalda Publishing
Book ISBN10: 0-615-32885-7 or Book ISBN13: 978-0-615-32885-0
Identify that the book is available for sale now, perhaps list some places such as Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Abe Books, local bookstore or the publisher’s website.
For your own benefit make sure you have a created by credits.
Do not use Copyrighted images or video clips. I will not select your photo if I see Keira Knightly, Jennifer Ehle, Colin Firth, or Mathew MacFayden or any other BBC or other actors or actresses, no matter how much I love them all.
What Will You Win and When:
The winner will receive $100 and a signed copy of my book “Longbourn’s Unexpected Matchmaker”. The contest will run from now until December 31, 2009.
I will review all submissions between January 1st and January 15th. The 15th I will announce the winner and make payment using paypal.
You can submit as many videos as you like, each video increases your chance of winning.
How to submit a video/book trailer:
You can submit your videos a couple of ways. You can create a MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 video file and e-mail it to me at < mail at emmahox dot com> (read it aloud and substitute the appropriate symbols in the right spots). You can also upload them to any video platform that you chose as long as it can be viewed without being a member of the platform and you can send me a link, by video platform I mean places such as YouTube. Be sure to notify me of the video when it is uploaded by sending me an e-mail message or just use the contact form on my about page.
When the contest is over and I select the winning video, you will retain creation rights to the video, however you must allow me to use it for commercial marketing purposes. I will be putting the video on my personal website and also uploading it to my YouTube account so that I can distribute it.
I made my first attempt which you can see at the following link. I am NOT asking that it be the same, in fact that is the purpose of doing this is that I want something way better than I can make. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syn1vaKvChQ
Here is a summary of my novel:
First of all the book takes place in England in 1811. The locations in the book are primarily the rural countryside of Hertfordshire and London.
Longbourn’s Unexpected Matchmaker
by. Emma Hox
Would Pride and Prejudice have been different if Colonel Fitzwilliam had accompanied Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy to Netherfield?
What would happen if Mr. Darcy made friends with a mysterious member of the Meryton neighborhood who refuses an introduction but who has a close relationship with the Bennet household?
Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five daughters to Mr. Thomas Bennet has caught the attention of the rich and handsome Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy almost from the moment he laid eyes on her, but when he purposefully misinterprets her families expectation of her marrying well and slights her in a way unknown to those who have always loved Jane Austen’s acclaimed Pride and Prejudice, he must leave forever or make amends. Sulking in the library he determines to leave the place and give her up, but is waylaid by a member of the Meryton neighborhood who claims an intimate acquaintance with the Bennet family and offers up advice on how to win Elizabeth’s heart.
Longbourn’s Unexpected Matchmaker puts a spin on Pride and Prejudice that no one would ever expect as Colonel Fitzwilliam attends Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy to Netherfield, Elizabeth Bennet is witty enough to detect the motives of Mr. Darcy’s long time enemy Lieutenant Wickham and Georgiana Darcy is bold enough to defy her brother and cousin and comes to Meryton in the midst of a storm. Not to mention Caroline Bingley, Lieutenant Wickham and Lady Catherine are all working against our hero and heroine ever finding their own happily ever after.
If you want additional information please contact me and I will provide it to you, including quotes from the book or PDF chapters. Ask anything along the way. You can also use the comments section of this post so that everyone can see your questions and my answers.
Good luck everyone. I can’t wait to see what you can come up with.

Emma Hox has always been an avid fan of Jane Austen’s novels. Although her favorite novel, she has been disappointed in Pride and Prejudice’s Mr. Bennet. Longbourn`s Unexpected Matchmaker gives the witty father of Elizabeth Bennet the personality Emma always envisioned he should truly have.
Emma is a member of the Jane Austen Society and a Jane Austen writer’s guild. She speaks to youth groups about becoming the women they dream of being, using the Jane Austen Heroines as examples. Emma explains each of the characters have personalities and flaws any female can relate to, admitting her own character match would coincidentally be Jane Austen’s Emma. She teaches the young women that each one of them has strengths and weaknesses and shows them how to learn and grow with confidence.
Emma was born and raised in the farmlands of Eastern Washington and is a graduate of Central Washington University in Ellensburg.
Married with two boys ages 5 and 2, Emma and her family love to sail and spend time on the lake on weekends. The author mostly enjoys sitting on the bow of the boat in the shade of the jib to write.
