What is book end-matter?

End-matter is any non-story (or non-book content) addition to your book that comes before or after the main body of your book. 

End-matter typically featured at the beginning of your book includes introductory pages like:

• Title page
• Copyright information
• Dedications 

End-matter also includes promotional or biographical pages like:

• Also by pages that introduce a book list for the same author
• New release email list
• Teasers
• About the Author page
• About the Publisher page

It can become challenging to keep front-matter and end-matter up to date as you write and release more books.

Draft2Digital’s automated end-matter will update content such as the author biography, publisher biography, copyright information, and useful marketing tools such as book Teasers and Also By pages. By opting into automated end-matter, you only have to enter information once, and it can be included in your books automatically, and kept up-to-date any time you make a change.

You can learn more about each end-matter type and enable automated end-matter under ACCOUNT > AUTOMATED END-MATTER.
