What makes a cozy fantasy book trailer work

Viewers on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts are drawn to cozy fantasies that immediately establish a heartwarming setting, like a quaint village or a magical tea shop, and introduce a lovable protagonist facing a charming dilemma.

Ideal length: 30–45 seconds for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels (vertical 9:16).

The cozy fantasy hook formula

[A charming setting] + [a quirky protagonist] + [a delightful magical element].
