Novlr Team

Allow writers to add new sections to their project menus that include front and back matter.

Front matter could include any of the following:

  • Title page; includes the book title, subtitle, author name, editor, translator, publisher information, and edition number
  • Copyright page; lists the copyright holder, publishing information, ISBN, and copyright notices
  • Dedication; a single page that includes the author’s dedication – usually ranging from a sentence or two to a short paragraph
  • Table of Contents; page numbers and chapter titles for easy reference (these could remain as internal links only but auto-populate on export?)
  • Epigraph; a quotation that precedes the body of a manuscript
  • Preface; the author’s statement of intention, context, and expertise.
  • Foreword; a short introductory piece written by someone other than the author

Back matter could include any of the following:

  • Acknowledgements; a place to express gratitude to the people or organisations who helped in the process of writing the book
  • About the author; includes biographical information like background, education, previous publications, and any other relevant professional or personal experiences
  • Afterword; a place for the author to reflect on the book’s themes, the writing process, note any revisions, or discuss the book’s reception
  • Glossary; an alphabetical list of all new or uncommon words included in the text
  • Discussion questions; a set of questions related to the content of a book that are designed to provoke thought and stimulate discussion among readers
  • Index; a list of words and phrases, along with the page numbers where they can be found (like the table of contents, this could be set as internal links only but auto-populate on export?)
  • Appendices; additional or supplementary information that is not essential to the main text but that may be of interest or use to the reader
  • Copyright permissions; a list of rights and licences obtained for any copyrighted materials used in the book
  • Bibliography; a list of books, articles, websites etc, used for research
  • Sneak peeks and additional works; short samples of future publications and lists of previously published works

This is pretty full-on ... and a huge amount of work. Perhaps only add to Pro level / Co-owner as an incentive for those who've been wondering if they should upgrade.
