Free resources

AI book-marketing workflows authors can actually use.

Prompt packs, reference images, and practical notes from building MakeTrailer in public. Start with a finished book asset, then use AI to make the launch materials around it.

Use the book you already have

Most workflows start with the finished cover, characters, or scene notes. The goal is to stage your book, not replace the taste work.

Show the actual prompt

Each resource includes the working prompt structure, the failure mode it avoids, and what to inspect before posting.

Keep the product ask soft

The manual method is free. MakeTrailer exists for the moments when you want the same output without setting up every reference by hand.
