was born out of a need to develop an online trailer cum teaser for the first title published by Alnpete Press - Library of the Soul by Simon Buck. From the very close and effective relationship that was thus engendered between the publisher's editorial and marketing teams, the author, and our creative team, it became clear that this should be more than just a one-off collaboration. Hence that trailer became the first . More will follow from this unique melding of new and traditional media.
  Despite our existing committments to develop a for each new Alnpete Press title, we are happy - indeed keen - to work with other publishers and/or authors to develop teasers, trailers and other 'viral' marketing collateral. We firmly believe this is a valuable and cost-effective route to develop markets and promote awareness of book titles, especially for smaller, independent, presses who have restricted budgets and reduced access to many of the other channels in which the global publishing houses can easily dominate.
  We can:

   • work with your own script or develop one for you;
   • create original graphics or use your own supplied artwork;
   • develop teaser/trailer as Flash or QuickTime (some other formats too - ask);
   • develop interactive Flash 'games
