Prologue, Dedication, Introduction, Prelude, Preface, Forward and Acknowledgements ...

Exactly, lol, as the title of this post points out, this can all be confusing stuff to a new writer, where does one start, what is the purpose of each of these, which if any should I use for a novelette??

I found a great source online that gave me a little insight into these things... click the link below...

I think for my first book, being fiction, I will keep it short and sweet and go with a dedications page and a page for acknowledgements and then into the story, Chapter1!

hope this is helpful.


ps... came across this information too...
