An Insight Of A Foreword, A Preface And An Introduction

by Varun Mishra book publisher While writing a novel, story and plot of the novel is usually the core concern of an author. What an author forgets is the other writing parts that are equally important and mostly misunderstood. What is the difference between an introduction, a preface and a foreword? If you ask this question to an author, many who are expert and probably a bestseller will fail to answer.

 

Yes, these are not that important and mostly even the reader ignores it. Few readers don’t even bother to read this but these still have their own importance. Ask a reading addict on what basis does he buys a book? The answer will not only be the blurb of the story but also these three confusing and mind twisting words. These play a very important role in book marketing. May be reader do not read an acknowledgment, a preface and a foreword while reading the story, he might also skip the introductory part at that time but when buying a book these become the centre of attraction.

 

A catchy title, outstanding blurb and mind blowing story is not all. To convince the reader to buy a book paying attention to each and every part is very important. You might hit the goal without giving proper importance to these once or twice but you can’t be lucky all the time.

 

So, lets us have an insight of a preface, an introduction and a foreword. Lets see what are these and how they differ from one another.

 

• Foreword- It is a short introduction of the book that is usually written by a writer else than the author of the book. It gives a third person view to the readers. Mostly an expert of the genre of book or other authors of same genre writes foreword of the book. Your contribution to foreword is limited to see that an unbiased person writes it and that’s too after reading the entire book.

 

• Preface- Why the book is written? How the idea of writing that particular topic and novel came in the mind of author? These are the few questions that are covered under preface of a book. This is a space provided to an author for some self praising. This can also be used to build curiosity among the readers about your book by giving some mysterious descriptions.

 

• Introduction- It is about the core content, i.e., story of the book. Before giving the pace to the story and hiking it up, mood of the story can be set up through the introduction. This is the best place to get your audience involved in the story.

 

Authors who give proper time and concentration to all the above mentioned points surely have a better sale of the book. Also any online book publisher in India from Penguin book publisher India, Macmillan book publisher India, OnlineGatha or any other Self eBook Publisher in India will be ready to publish his book.
