What makes a romantasy book trailer work

On platforms like TikTok and Reels, romantasy trailers excel when they establish a magical world, introduce a compelling romantic tension, and hint at the transformative journey of the characters within the first few seconds.

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

The romantasy hook formula
