Hi Anna,
Im glad this post resonated with you and can help you finish your non fiction book.

Thanks for looking towards my next post, as I attempt to demystify other little parts of the book.

The preface and foreward will surely show up soon!

Kris

Thanks, Lynette!

It is a part of the book that can get overlooked. We can use it to better engage our readers for sure with a little intentional tweaking.

My research-based narrative NF project will need an afterword with some aspects of my personal experience with the material that would only distract the reader and clutter up the main story. These tidbits are important (not only to me) and will, I believe, appeal to my "own school of reader-fish" (great term!).
Looking forward to your next installment, especially to the distinction between a foreword and a preface.

Thank you for this excellent explanation of an afterword, Kris. I have used an author's note in my books, but your explanation will help me improve what I do. And I can't wait for the next installment on this blog series!
