How do I make book marketing content in ChatGPT?
Quote cards, trailers and samples that all look like your cover.
In ChatGPT, add the Creative Claw plugin, attach your cover and paste the lines you want to promote. It designs quote cards with the words lettered in (24 credits each), cuts 9:16 trailers and scene clips for TikTok and Reels, makes narrated sample videos and translated editions, all from the same cover, palette and characters. Our whole launch kit for a fictional novel cost about 766 credits ($7.66). Quote your own book or real, permitted reviews: the FTC bans fake and AI-generated reviews.

Made with Creative Claw
What can you make with Creative Claw in ChatGPT?
A 30-second BookTok trailer Three shots, text hooks, a narrator and a cover reveal. About 537 credits. A full-cast audio drama Three voices, waves, wind and thunder from one ElevenLabs v4 script: 51 seconds of audio for 16 credits.

Before and after
One book, many posts
A trailer still turned into a scene clip for TikTok, and the cover turned into a Spanish edition.
Original AI book trailer
Original
AI cover edit Finished example
One book, one chat: covers, a BookTok trailer, an audiobook sample and a Spanish edition.
We invented a novel, The Salt Archive by Mara Quill, a gothic mystery set in a fog-bound harbour town, to show a full launch kit. Nano Banana 2 designed three covers with the title spelled right, a Spanish edition cover and two quote cards; Gemini Omni Flash shot the trailer scenes; Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS voiced the trailer and read chapter one as a retail sample; Lyria 3.5 scored it; and HyperFrames cut the trailer with text hooks on the narration. If you already have a cover, skip the first rows.
Voiceover script
“Every year, on the night of the drowning, the sea gives something back to Wrenhaven. Letters. Sealed. Never read. For nineteen years, Ada Lorne has filed them away. Tonight, one of them has her name on it.”
| Step | Tool | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Three cover concepts with title and author lettered in | Nano Banana 2, 2K | 72 |
| Spanish edition cover (two tries) | Nano Banana 2, 2K | 48 |
| Four trailer stills | Nano Banana 2, 2K | 96 |
| Two quote cards | Nano Banana 2, 2K | 48 |
| Three 6-second trailer shots, 1080p | Gemini Omni Flash | 414 |
| 26-second trailer voiceover | Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS | 4 |
| 2:19 audiobook sample, chapter one | Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS | 30 |
| 40-second Spanish narration | Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS | 8 |
| Trailer score | Lyria 3.5 | 16 |
| Word checks on the narration | Transcribe | 3 |
| Trailer and audiobook sample videos | HyperFrames (render_html_video) | 27 |
| Total for the finished example | 766 ($7.66) | |
The book, author, characters and text are fictional and were written for this page. The trailer and audiobook videos were rendered with HyperFrames; render_html_video quotes about 27 credits for all three. Without the covers and quote cards, the trailer and narration alone are about 550 credits.

Before you render
What should I check before rendering?
Label realistic AI video
YouTube and TikTok ask creators to label realistic AI-generated video. A photoreal trailer counts; use the platform’s AI label when you post.
Tell KDP what AI made
KDP asks you to disclose AI-generated text, images (cover and interior) and translations when you publish. AI-assisted work, where you created it and AI helped edit or brainstorm, does not need disclosure.
Check every word on a card
Read each quote card against your manuscript before posting; regenerate rather than patch a typo.
Check current pricing, read short answers in the help center, inspect the tool reference, or browse published media examples. Examples illustrate creative approaches; they are not proof that this exact starter prompt was run.
Practical answers
Frequently asked questions
Book marketing in ChatGPT
Can ChatGPT make my book marketing content?
Yes, with Creative Claw: quote cards, BookTok and Reels trailers, scene clips, audiobook sample videos, translated versions and ad images, each sized for its platform.
Can it make quote cards from my book?
Yes. Paste the line and describe the look; Nano Banana 2 letters it onto the design for 24 credits. Both of ours spelled every word right; check each one before posting.
What should I post on BookTok and Reels?
Short vertical video: a 15- to 30-second trailer, single scene clips with a text hook, or a narrated excerpt over the cover. One trailer’s shots can be recut into several posts.
Can it make ad images for Amazon or Meta?
Yes. Ask for the cover in a scene or mockup at the size the ad needs. Follow each ad platform’s rules for claims and AI disclosure.
Can I market a translated edition?
Yes. Swap the title on the cover, narrate a sample in that language and translate the captions; our Spanish cover and sample cost 56 credits together.
Can I turn a chapter into a short audio drama for social?
Yes. Script the scene for two or three voices with sound effects in brackets, and ElevenLabs v4 performs it in one request (ours: 51 seconds, 16 credits). Then cut it over your trailer shots with speaker captions. Creative Claw’s video agent builds edits like this in the cloud from a description (about 25 to 450 credits, depending on length; see creativeclaw.co/video-agent).
Cost
How much does a book marketing kit cost?
Two quote cards are 48 credits, a 30-second trailer about 537 and a narrated sample video about 44. Our whole launch kit, covers included, was about 766 credits ($7.66).
How does that compare with a marketing service?
Trailer services charge about $200 to $6,000, narrators $100 to $500 per finished hour, and book marketing agencies more. Creative Claw has no plan; you pay for what you make.
Quality
How do I keep everything on brand?
Reuse the cover, palette and fonts as references in every request. Our cards, trailer and sample videos all share the cover’s teal and cream palette.
Publishing and store rules
Do I have to tell Amazon KDP that my cover was made with AI?
Yes. KDP’s content guidelines ask you to disclose AI-generated content, including text, images (cover and interior art) and translations, when you publish or republish. Content an AI tool created counts as AI-generated even if you edited it a lot. AI-assisted work (you made it, AI helped edit or brainstorm) does not need disclosure.
Can I sell an AI-narrated audiobook on Audible?
Not through ACX. ACX’s submission requirements (April 2026) say audiobooks must be narrated by a human unless otherwise authorised, and unauthorised text-to-speech is prohibited. Amazon’s own Virtual Voice, an invite-only KDP beta, is the authorised AI route.
Where can I sell an AI-narrated audiobook?
Spotify for Authors accepts digital voice narration from providers “like Google Play Books, ElevenLabs, and more” and adds a disclosure line. Google Play Books accepts uploads with a synthesized-voice narrator. Kobo Writing Life accepts AI narration credited to a synthesised voice (as reported). Apple Books offers only its own digital narration. Check each store before you narrate a whole book.
Who owns the copyright in an AI-made cover?
Your text stays yours. In the US, the Copyright Office says prompts alone do not make an image copyrightable; your own selection, arrangement and edits can be. Keep your drafts. This is not legal advice.
Can I use AI reviews or reader quotes in my marketing?
No. The FTC rule in force since October 21, 2024 bans fake reviews and testimonials, including AI-generated ones, with civil penalties for knowing violations. Quote your own book, or real reviews you have permission to use.
Do I need to label an AI book trailer?
On YouTube and TikTok, label realistic AI-generated video with the platform’s AI disclosure. A stylised or clearly illustrated trailer usually is not covered; check each platform’s current rules when you post.

Can I use my own manuscript and cover?
Yes. Paste a chapter or your blurb into ChatGPT for narration and trailer scripts, and attach your cover so trailers, quote cards and translated editions match it.

No. It makes the files (covers, trailers, narration, quote cards); you upload them to KDP, your audiobook distributor or your social accounts.
