PenStranding

Front and back matter

A title page from your edition's details, and pages the studio adds at the end: "Also by", each series in order, and a newsletter page.

Your manuscript's own pages (title page, dedication, contents, epigraphs, a thank-you page) come in with it.

The title page of a printed book is set from the edition: the title, then the subtitle and the series ("The Lantern Cycle, book 2") from its Details, the author, and in a translation the translators named under Contributors ("Translated from Polish by Anna Nowak", in the edition's language). An ebook keeps its manuscript's title page and gets the lines it doesn't have yet. The ebook also tells the stores its subtitle, its series and number, and every contributor with their role, which Apple Books and Kobo read.

On an edition's Back matter tab, the studio adds two more pages, written into every ebook and print build:

In an ebook, each title and the newsletter page link to the web: a title to its book page, which sends each reader to their own store, and only when that page is on. One ebook can then go to every store: Apple Books, Kobo and Google Play turn away ebooks that link to a rival's store. Print lists the titles and shows the sign-up page's address.

A page in your manuscript headed the same way, such as your own "Also by", is replaced by the studio's.
