Many Moons
This is the first half title page. It is the first page of
the manuscript and the first page of the front matter.
Front matter consists of the elements that precede the
body of the text. The first half title page features only
the main title of your book.
A note on formatting: Please do not use any
formatting in the front matter. Do not use all caps,
underline, italics, or bold. Use Times New Roman 12point font. Be sure to double space everything.
Use lower-case roman numerals
to paginate the front matter.

An Alternative History of Our Solar Sytem

This is the full title page. This page will include the title (as it appears
on the first half title page), the subtitle, your name, and the publisher’s
information. If your book is a translated work or if someone is writing a
foreword for your book, you’ll want to include that person’s name on this
page following the author’s name. Do not include your professional title
(e.g. PhD, Professor) or professional affiliation unless you have
discussed otherwise with your editor. If your book is a new edition of a
previously published work, the number of the edition (e.g. Third Edition)
will appear on this page following the title.

This is the copyright page. Leave this blank
for the publisher to complete. (If yours is a
book that requires certain permissions to
appear on the copyright page, discuss this with
your editor.)

This page can be used to feature a dedication or an epigraph. We prefer
that you only include one or the other, but if you would like to have both
a dedication and an epigraph for your book, type them on separate pages
and place them before the table of contents. Again, do not add any
formatting and be sure to double space.

Contents
List of Illustrations
This is the table of contents. The table of contents may take up as
many pages as is necessary, depending on the book. The heading will
just read “Contents.” Align the text to the left. Indent part titles, if
you have them. For your reference, all of the most common elements
included in front matter have been listed here. Few books contain all
of these elements so omit as necessary.

Introduction (if not part of front matter)
It is common for the
acknowledgments to be
part of the preface. The
introduction is very often
part of the text rather
than the front matter. The
placement of the
introduction will affect
how it is paginated. In
this case, the introduction
is part of the text and
therefore starts on page
1. If you have questions
about placement, discuss
them with your editor.

This is the last page of the table of contents. The back matter that you see listed
follows the last chapter. Like the front matter, all the most common possible
elements included in back matter have been given here for your reference. Few
books contain all of these elements so omit as necessary.
TIP: Note that at the very end of the manuscript you will include a short
bio of yourself (About the Author)—this does not get listed in the table
of contents. Only in the case of an edited volume will the list of
contributors be included in the table of contents.

Introduction
The early Buddhist tradition is sometimes characterized in the popular imagination of
westerners as somber, serious, austere, and pessimistic. With its emphasis on suffering and
rejecting the world for a more solitary life of contemplation and meditation, it is understandable
how people could arrive at such a characterization. But such a caricature would be incorrect and
misleading. The early Buddhist tradition is sometimes characterized in the popular imagination
