How to structure front matter, chapters, and back matter in Scripta

A phone novel draft stays manageable when the manuscript has a real spine. Here is how to organize front matter, chapters, and back matter in Scripta.

Key takeaways

Create front matter early so title pages and dedications are not an afterthought.
Keep one chapter per section so mobile editing stays scannable.
Preview Kindle and paperback layouts before you export.
Scripta can export ePub, DOCX, or PDF from the same project.

Manuscript bones on a phone

Notes apps flatten everything into one scroll. Scripta treats a book as front matter, chapters, and back matter so long-form drafting stays structured.

A practical order

Create the project and add front matter placeholders (title, dedication, contents).
Draft chapters as separate sections with consistent heading styles.
Add back matter when you are ready (acknowledgments, about the author).
Use live device preview, then export ePub, DOCX, or PDF.

Stay offline when you need focus

Scripta keeps manuscripts on device by default. Get it on Google Play.
