BookShorts Company Profile
BookShorts (http://www.bookshorts.com) is a media production,
distribution and marketing company whose specialty focus is
books, authors, and the writing life. The company has produced
hundreds of minutes of original programming, including twenty
short films (many acquired by, or co-produced with national
TV broadcasters); hundreds of author biographies, news features and book video trailers;
an 8-episode nationally broadcast television series and in 2010 two feature documentaries. BookShorts
is one of only two membership benefits providers (video production

Association (USA), and was the sole founding provider of video production
services to Amazon’s BookSurge LLC in 2009, producing over 100 unique trailers.
Distribution is a key service offering to clients and sponsors
in book publishing. In addition to TV and film festivals,
the company broadcasts from three websites including its flagship
MovingStories.TV (www.movingstories.tv)
plus communities on Facebook, MySpace, ChaptersIndigo.ca,
GoodReads and many other online social networks.
Consumer marketing is a growing part of the vertical scope
the company embraces -- Moving Stories Film Festival was launched
in 2008, to screen the company’s original properties
as well as films inspired by books from filmmakers around
the world. The program consists of a curated selection of
shorts curated by BookShorts, and presented by literary and
film festivals across North America to the public as a free
