Story / Theme Videos
Videos built around your book's central ideas, themes, and emotional core rather than plot summary alone.
The ideas behind the story.
Story and theme videos focus on what a book is really about — its central conflicts, emotional core, and ideas — rather than a straightforward plot summary. They give readers a sense of what the book explores, not just what happens.
Authors use this format when a book's themes are part of its appeal, or when they want video content that speaks to readers looking for a particular kind of story or message.

Why Phoenix
We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect story / theme 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.
