When a book is published, in addition to the text and/or images it contains, there is also front matter and back matter. Front matter includes such things as a title page, the author’s name, copyright information, and may include a table of contents, a dedication, acknowledgments, and a forward, preface, or introduction.
Back matter varies a lot according to the type of book. In some cases, there is no back matter, or simply information about the author. In others, there is an afterword, an appendix, notes, an index, a glossary, bibliography, and more.
Both of these are essential if you are self-publishing a book, and Scrivener allows you to integrate this information easily when you compile your project.
In this article, I’ll look at front and back matter, and how Scrivener handles them when you compile a project.
