The Secret Power of Epilogues: How One Final Chapter Could Transform Your Book Forever
While many editors feel prologues are overused and look down on them, there isn’t the same level of distaste for prologue’s cousin, the epilogue.
What did I choose for my ending? When I was writing my book Crowdsourcing Paris, my memoir about a real-life adventure story I had in France, I chose to use . . .
An epilogue.
Why? Because in the ending, I flash back to a moment from a previous part of my story, and this jump was outside of the normal structure of my chapters. I also used a prologue to begin the book, and so it felt right to use an epilogue to end it for a sense of closure.
