Front and Back Matter

3 guides on this topic, in the order we suggest you read them.

  1. Dedication Page in a Book: How to Write One (Examples)
    A dedication page in a book is a short line near the start that honors a person or group. It usually sits on its own right-facing page after the copyright page. Keep it to one or two lines and name the person or write a short message.
  2. Book Acknowledgements: How to Write Them With Examples
    Book acknowledgements are a short note where the author thanks the people who helped create the book. List editors, readers, family and other helpers by name. Keep it brief, add a personal line for each key person and place it in the front or back matter.
  3. Copyright Page in a Book: What to Include (Free Template)
    A copyright page in a book lists the copyright notice, the year, the owner and the publisher details. Many authors add the ISBN, edition and rights wording. KDP says it is the first left-facing page after the title page and has no page numbers or headers.
