How do I add an Epigraph or a Foreword? Why does BookyAI not write them?

BookyAI •1 min read •14 views •Updated Sep 19, 2026

From version 1.9.15: open the book, find the "Front & back matter" card on the right, and under "Add your own" click "Epigraph" or "Foreword". The editor opens on the empty section: type or paste the text and it saves by itself. BookyAI never writes these two, on purpose. A foreword is written by someone else, in their own words, to recommend the book: an AI version would be an invented endorsement. An epigraph is a quotation you choose: an AI version could be an invented or a copyrighted quote. Both are placed at the very beginning of the book by default, before the Dedication, and you can move them under "Include in book" in the Export card.
