Hi everyone! I’m working on my first project (a collection of short fics), and I’m wondering if there’s an established “best practice“ for formatting and including metadata (tags, summaries, etc.), or if it’s really preference. I know it needs to be in there somewhere, but is there a specific where?
My current plan is to have the anthology title page, table of contents, and then each story with its title, author, and publication year. Then, at the back, to have an appendix with each story’s metadata (specific date, tags, summary, notes, etc.) there for reference. (This way, if I want to add more stories, I’ll need to reprint fewer pages, I think).
Is this a reasonable plan? Or is the metadata generally kept with its own story text? I don’t want to accidentally fail to provide appropriate citation information.
Thank you all!
