![]() ![]() You’ve got a book now, or you’re well on your way to finishing it.ĭo you need one too? Do you need front matter at all? You’re pretty sure you’ve seen forewords in books before, or maybe your favorite classic piece of literature has one in the front. That is between you and your book formatter. You may see it written with either lowercase Roman numerals or typical Arabic numerals, or without any page numbering whatsoever. It always goes at the very front of the book (with one exception, which I’ll get into below), and it’s rarely more than a couple of pages long. If the author does write this section, it might be to explain how the book came to be, or their connection between the work and themselves-like Stephen King often does for his novels. They can also serve as a sort of endorsement for the book. A foreword is a piece of writing that serves to introduce the reader to the author and the book, usually written by someone who is not the author or an editor of the book.
