Ever wonder why all those unread and unloved pages, in all those books you have read, are there and what their reasons for being might be? – Paul explains 👍😃
Sorry about the amazing and captivating tittle of this post!
I tried a few others, tried to get those creative juices flowing, some were subtle, some vague, some oblique; but they did not say what I wanted, so you got this…the premise of the blog as today’s title.
This post is NOT about formatting your book, there are loads of blogs, sites & people which offer that advice or service and many publishing sites that have some kind of template to help the unsure and uncertain.
This post is about understanding the construction of a book, its ‘parts’, the ones often overlooked or misunderstood by the author and, if I am honest, by many small publishers too. Now, I am not knocking small publishers, not the true professional ones anyway…if you get my drift.
So, to move on.
Without delving into the annals of history or being too historically accurate…

Interesting read. I actually learned something important. I did a book with a prologue and received comments on the POV. Well your article says it should be the POV of one of the characters and not the narrator. I did it in the narrator. I eventually did away with it but not until this moment did I realize what the problem was.
