Do you read the prologue? Do you skip past it and flip right to chapter one? In this episode, Sarah and Angela tackle the forever ongoing discussion of prologues, those hot topic little sections at the beginning of some books that often get overlooked and have sparked quite a debate online and within the literary community. Do we need them? Are there rules for writing prologues? Whether you're a reader, a writer, an industry professional, a bookstore owner, or someone who stumbled upon this episode, we cover all aspects of prologues and how they can enrich a story, but also how they can detract. Join us as we do our best to dissect one of the biggest and longest running debates the book world has ever seen.
Let us know what you think. Do you have a favorite prologue? Would you like to see more prologues in books? Fewer? We want to know!
