PreView services
Aside from posting your PreView on our website (only if we have reviewed your book,) YouTube, Yahoo Videos, MetaCafe, Daily Motion, Veoh, and YourBookTube, you will have the rights to post it on your website, your MySpace, distribute it with your marketing materials or any other venue you choose to promote your book. (However, the video may not be altered once you approve the final copy and must be used as is.) As well, you will be featured on our website for one week (again, only if we have reviewed your book.) The system we use generates thumbnail images and transcodes your video into the following formats:

What authors say
Your producer, Chris Hatcher, was a pleasure to work with in the making of the "Rally Caps" PreView. He was 110% professional, creative, cooperative, flexible and prompt. Making the video was a team effort and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I am thrilled with the results.
Stephen J. Cutler, Co-Author of Rally Caps.
The trailer continues to pay high dividends; Manie Barron from the Menza-Barron agency in NY watched it. Victoria has captured his attention enough to request a copy of the book.
J. A. Leary, author of The Angel Hunter
When I wanted to promote my novel on the Internet I found no better partner than Reader Views. They offered an array of services, including a fabulous PreView by Chris Hatcher, that helped me to land representation by the William Morris Agency and a two-book deal from Simon & Schuster for “The Book of Unholy Mischief.” In addition to providing excellent PR services, Irene and Chris were a dream to work with— professionally adept and personally wonderful. I would, and do, recommend Readerviews.com to anyone who wants to publicize a book.
Elle Newmark, author of Bones of the Dead [in re-writing process and will be called "The Book of Unholy Mischief"]
