Process
How a trailer project
works
Story intake
You share your manuscript, synopsis, and any visual references you love. I read it as a storyteller, not a contractor.
Beat structure
I map your story's emotional architecture onto a cinematic beat structure — every shot earns its place in the trailer.
Prompt creation
Every Viddo AI and Runway Gen-3 prompt is written, with character anchors, pacing notes, model recommendations, and VO scripts.
Delivery
You receive a production-ready document. Generate your clips, record your voiceover, and assemble. I stay available for questions.

Oklahoma City · Oct 2026
I'm Richard Taylor — author of the Ultimate Truth trilogy (Echoes of the Cosmos, Echoes of the Past, Echoes of the Lost), The Cosmic Covenant, and the newly completed Fracture Series (The Hollow Beneath).
I've spent years navigating every part of the indie author journey — writing, rewriting, launching, selling at events, and building an audience from scratch. I know what it costs and what it's worth.
I also work at the intersection of AI and creative production. The book trailer methodology I use for my own launches is the same one I bring to client projects — built from real production experience, not theory.
If you're an indie author who is serious about your book and needs a creative partner who understands both the craft and the business of publishing, I'd like to hear about your project.
