What Goes in the Back Of Your Book? 

Making sure we engage the reader right up front is important. We only get one first impression, and that killer opening line will do more than even the best acknowledgment. I really like this!

I love virtually all your contents. I am getting addicted to your channel.

Thanks Julie 🌎 Greetings from Colombia. The Venezuelan Immigrant writer 🇻🇪

Tanks Julie 👍🏼 Grate tipps for what actualy sells books as usual.

Great info, from now on I will definitely be putting the acknowledgements at the back of the book. Have a great weekend.

I made the same mistake in my book Gorillas with Machine Guns. I have acknowledgments, an intro, and a forward. I will definitely be shoving most of that to the back next time

Why think in the box when you can think out of the box? 📦 Love the marketing-focused BL logic!

I completely agree! The forwards can go away and the acknowledgements can go to the back.

I love it because it’s about selling books not about formality. This is one of the best videos ever!

So you can sell more books showing the early pages for the "look inside" etc.! Thanks for the ideas about deviating from the "Chicago" manual's recommended order of a book.

The job of a writer is never done! Haha. So, the other day, my wife and I were talking about the front matter of books. She said that skips all the info (especially acknowledgements) because she just wants to get to the content of the book. I told her what I'd learned from watching your videos about front vs. back matter and how much sense it made! Pieces like the acknowledgements and about the author need to be in the back because you're more interested in it then. By the time you finish a book, you feel like you know the author more and will want to learn about them more. #booksdoneright #cmss #noboringbooks

Fantastic ideas and methods which I did not truly know when I published my 1st, but I will use for future publications. I really like the back matter stuffing of information. Thanks, Julie and Booklaunchers for continuous excellent content!

Because books that are NOT boring... SELL! 😎👍 Thank you for telling us the WHY of what we should do! 😁👍

This was great information. As an aspiring author, this is extremely helpful; especially the "look inside" information.

Awesomeness!

Usually the songs on an album are the result of an artist's creations during a season of life. This means the songs can all speak to a similar set of themes, ideas and topics. So the aim of an album name is to try and sum up the big story/concept that all the songs pull from when they were written. It's not always like these, especially today. But traditionally, an album is like a "book" with the songs inside being like "chapters." It is a cohesive collection of songs used to tell a bigger theme or project an overall vibe. Think of an album as a book. And your songs as chapters. Every book has chapters. Every album has songs. Each chapter is different. Each song is different. But the collection of chapters (the collection of songs) is what tells the full story of the book (of the album) 💿.

I like it ..break the rules...marketing strategy

Hey Julie my Internet Bestie!!!

I stubbornly kept believing that I had the greatest final sentence in the history of literature, so I didn't want anything at the end. But Amazon put "Printed in Las Vegas" on the last page anyway. XD

Hey! I love this video as a first time book writer this is great info. I have question: Can you give us an example of the offer/hire me page. I definitely want to add that but I’m having a hard time wording it without seeming sleezy.

You break the rules because you’re focused on making no boring books!! Things like forewords and acknowledgements at the beginning do not always help sale the book. 😉

I guess I'm the rare reader that reads all of the extra stuff at the beginning of a book first. I don't read the stuff at the back of the book first though, because I assume it's put at the back of the book because it contains spoilers. In this day of, "Look Inside," I totally understand not putting it up front anymore. NOTE: Absolutely DO NOT read the Introduction in: The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause. That Introduction should have gone in the back of the book, as it disclosed a major spoiler that told what happened to one of the main characters at the end of the book. (I guess that was one time I shouldn't have read the stuff at the beginning of the book before reading the story. Live and learn.)
