How to Write a Preface for Your Book

This should be easy after writing a book! This section of the frontmatter can be as short or as long as you’d like. It’s a place to be honest and open with your readers about the writing of the book – be it a fictional, romance novel or a biography of Abraham Lincoln. With interest in the book comes an interest in the author and how they created the work, so readers are naturally drawn to the preface.

Keep these things in mind when writing:

Your readers want to know you. Be an open book.

Writing a book is hard work, and this is the place to talk about that.

How your book came to life is a journey in itself. Showcase it.

Make it clear to the reader why they should read the book. The preface is a good marketing tool.

Preface Examples

Below are some preface examples to give you an idea on how to write a preface for your book:

Into the Wild (Nonfiction, Biography) by Jon Krakauer

Jon Krakauer prefaces Into the Wild, the biographical account of the disappearance and death of Chris McCandless, with a quick two-and-a-half-page essay on how he came to write about the topic in the first place and how his coverage was received by friends and family of the late Chris McCandless.

Early Work (Poetry) by Patti Smith

Smith’s preface works as a note to the reader: to explain to them why she wrote what she did in the 1970s, how it differs from what she thinks now, and how she remembers it. In this short statement, she says, “The seventies. When I think of them now I think of one great film in which I played a part. A bit part. But a part nonetheless that I shall never play again.”

Sarah’s Key (Historical Fiction) by Tatiana de Rosnay

Tatiana de Rosnay prefaces her Holocaust novel with a brief author’s note, stating that while the story is fictional, certain events within it actually happened.

If you feel there’s something that needs to be said for the writing of the book, be it an explanation or a clarification, the preface is a great place to do so. Self-published authors, especially, face a unique and exciting journey when they set out to publish a book, and the preface is a great place to discuss that.
