Books and Authors in Action
just for fun
A New Video Camera!
I just returned from picking up our new video camera and we’re all so excited in the office to start filming!
Since we’re all so enthusiastic about our new toy, you can expect some video updates in the coming weeks. We have a lot of fun ideas planned for you: author interviews, event footage, book trailers, videoblogs – and a few surprises too!
As always, we also want to hear from you!
- What would you love to see us do with our new camera?
- What book trailers have you seen and loved?
- What interests you about books and publishing that you’d like to hear more about?
If you have a YouTube account, subscribe to our channel!

I’ll see what I can do about the mic! Good advice!
