Proposed headings for books, as they currently aren't consistent. Most are optional, so only add if necessary. But if they are added, they should be consistent. Listed existing headings used per heading I've picked for comparison.

Some books have some weird unique headings, they are:

Synopsis[edit]

  • Synopsis
  • Cover Synopsis
  • Cover Blurb

Cover Flap[edit]

Honestly not a big fan of either, let's come up with something new. Going with Cover Flap for now.

  • From the Cover Flap
  • Back cover copy

Summary[edit]

  • Summary
  • Plot Summary
  • Plot summary
  • Plot

Main Characters[edit]

  • Main Characters
  • Characters

Setting[edit]

Previously, split amongst many

  • Setting
  • Organizations
  • Technology
  • Magic/Magic System
  • Smedry Talents

Postscript[edit]

Series[edit]

Sequels can be sub heading.

  • Series
  • Sequels

Adaptations[edit]

Film should be sub heading of this I reckon.

Development[edit]

Writing Process should be sub heading.
29/08/2022 - replace 'Behind the Scenes' with 'Development'

  • Development
  • Writing Process
  • Behind the Scenes

Publication History[edit]

  • Publication History
  • Publication

Cover Gallery[edit]

  • Cover Gallery
  • Cover Art Gallery

Interior Art[edit]

See Also[edit]

29/08/2022 - External Links will be sub-heading in 'See Also'
4/09/2022 - Moved excerpt to be contained here.

  • See Also
  • External Links
  • Excerpt

Trivia[edit]

5/10/2022 - Chapter Nicknames now a sub-heading of trivia.

Awards[edit]

Statistical Analysis[edit]

Changed after input from discord

I like the small table the Stormlight Archive books have, so will replicate if possible elsewhere. e.g.

The Way of Kings consists of one prelude, one prologue, seventy-five chapters, ten of which are reserved for flashbacks of the focus character of the book, nine interludes and one epilogue, reaching a total 384,265 word count. There are seventeen different unique point-of-view characters in a total of 123 POVs, although twelve of these characters occupy a much shorter portion of the book than the other five.

Word Count 384,265
Page Count 1,008 Tor hardback
Chapter Count 87 Including prelude, prologue, 9 interludes, and epilogue.
PoV Characters 17
PoV Count 123

Notes[edit]
