In a book what is a forword?

Answer 1

A book foreword is like an introduction to a book. It introduces the book to the reader. It gives a hint of what the book will contain, why you should read it, and how youcould possibly relate to it. The foreword of a book is not written by the author. However, the foreword's author may be in relation to the subject of the book they are writing about, or might have experienced certain events described in the book with the author. The foreword of a book can occasionally be released before the book itself to build suspense for the release of the book and get the readers anticipating it. An author might try and get a celebrity or someone famous to write the foreword to gain the book some popularity.

Foreword is often misspelled as "forward" which most often indicates direction or progressive in thought or movement.

Answer 2

A foreword are introductory remarks usually about a book written by someone other than the author. Tyrone T Dancy, Author of the book "Serving Under Adverse Conditions"

Caution! Be careful not to confuse this word with the soundalike "forward", which refers to direction.

Answer 3

It is something like a preface or an introduction, written to indicate what the book's purpose is. It is not spelled 'forward'. Think word before the main part.

Answer 4

A foreword is part of the front matter and is usually written by someone other than the author, often an authority on the subject.
