Back matter comes after your final chapter. It's where you tie up loose ends and connect with readers.
Available Back Matter Types
Epilogue — A final chapter that takes place after the main story ends. Great for showing where characters end up.
Afterword — Author's reflections on the book, often discussing the writing process or historical context.
Acknowledgments — If you didn't put them in front matter, thank your supporters here.
About the Author — Your bio. Keep it relevant to the book and personable.
Appendix — Supplementary material: maps, family trees, detailed explanations, research notes.
Bibliography — Sources you referenced, especially important for non-fiction.
Glossary — Definitions of terms used in your book. Helpful for fantasy worlds, technical topics, or historical settings.
Promotional Material — "Also by this author," newsletter signup information, or previews of upcoming work.
