Hi Hivers,
The rate at which books e-books, PDF files and other reading materials are produce is becoming alarming. Yes, know know is an island of knowledge but necessity demands that evryone follow the right template before laughing their books to avoid unnecessary error. Another key important aspect which lots of author's neglect is proofreading. Many engage in doing it themselves. I tell you that, you can never be a better judge when treating your own case. It's better a proficient writer or someone skill in this act help you in doing the proofreading to minimize typo error or mistakes that could leave a bad review on your book and this can discourage readers from buying next time. So be warned, and act wisely. Today I will be showing you one costly mistakes that are oversight in the course of writing a book.
FORWARD, FOREWORD, FOREWARD
One let area an author need to pay close attention on is when writing their foreword. It can easily be confused with 'forward ' not just because the latter is a common expression, but because it also means being in the front and 'Foreword 'is always at the beginning of a book. The third element 'foreward ' is simply wrongly spelt. Writers, editors, critics and reviewers be careful with 'foreword 'because there have been books published with 'foreward 'conspicuously posing where 'Foreword 'should be.
FOREWORD, PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION
The three also often raise questions concerning what differentiates their meanings. As publishing or literary terms, they do not mean the same thing. First, 'foreword 'refers to a 'short piece of writing at the beginning of a book, sometimes a praise by a famous person or someone who is not a writer'. On the other hand.
A 'preface 'refers to an introduction at the beginning of a book explaining it's purpose thanking people who helped the author, etc what this means is that a major difference between the 'foreword '&'preface 'is that the first is written by someone other than the author while he or she (author/writer) supplies the preface. The definition are also from the Cambridge Dictionary which defines 'introduction '.
'Introduction 'in this context, as a short speech or piece of writing that comes before a longer speech or written text, usually giving basic information about what is to follow. Like 'preface ',it is also written by the author. Thanks for reading.
