Hello,
It was suggested to me that with a piece of fiction that introduces characters of another world there should be a Glossary. I must say that my initial reaction was to say that I thought that the writing should introduce the characters. After this suggestion I spoke with others and I spoke to someone that said, “I would include a glossary and then it is there for those who need it and if others don’t want it they just won’t access it.”
So my question is to you all: Do you say yes or no to a glossary of characters?
If yes, would you put the glossary at the front or at the back?
What do you think?
All thoughts appreciated.
Paul
