If you’re in the business of creating low-content books like journals, planners, or puzzle books, you know how important it is to make your books stand out. One of the best ways to enhance the professionalism and value of your books is by adding front and back matter pages. These often-overlooked pages can do wonders for your book’s appeal and even help you grow your business.

What Are Front & Back Matter Pages?

Front matter pages are the first few pages of a book, typically found at the beginning, and serve to introduce the book to the reader. They can include important information that sets the stage for the content that follows. Back matter pages, on the other hand, are placed at the end of the book and often provide additional resources, insights, and calls to action that keep your readers engaged even after they’ve finished reading.

Why Should You Add These Pages?

Adding front and back matter pages to your books not only makes your work look more polished and professional but also offers several other benefits:

• Establish Authority: Front matter pages like the Title Page, Copyright Page, and Introduction can help you position yourself as an expert in your niche, giving your readers the confidence to trust your content.
• Enhance Reader Experience: Pages like a Table of Contents or Tips and Tricks offer additional value to your readers, making your book more user-friendly and informative.
• Promote Your Business: Back matter pages are a great way to keep your readers connected with you. Include a “What to Do Next” page, links to your social media, or a list of your other books to encourage further engagement and drive more sales.
