Media • Short-Form Video

Short-Form Vertical Videos

Short, platform-native videos built for fast-scrolling audiences on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

Video content built for short attention spans.

Short-form video runs on quick pacing, hooks, and native platform conventions rather than the longer structure of a traditional trailer. It's designed to work within feeds where viewers decide in seconds whether to keep watching.

Authors turn to short-form content when they want a presence on platforms where readers already discover books, and need video built specifically for that format rather than a repurposed trailer.

What we can create

  • Hook-First Scripting

    Write short scripts designed to capture attention in the first seconds.

  • Vertical Video Production

    Produce video in the vertical format short-form platforms use.

  • Trend-Aware Formats

    Adapt content structures common to short-form platforms to fit your book.

  • Batch Content Sets

    Produce a set of short videos for ongoing posting rather than a single piece.

  • Caption & On-Screen Text

    Add captions and text overlays suited to sound-off viewing.

Built around your book and your audience.

  • Authors building a presence on short-form platforms
  • Fiction and non-fiction authors alike

  • Debut authors introducing themselves to new readers

Why Phoenix

We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect short-form vertical videos with the editing, publishing, marketing or media work around it, so each piece supports the next. We explain what we recommend and why, agree the scope with you before starting, and never promise sales, rankings, coverage or reviews.
