Have any of you fellow SciFi/Fantasy novelists ever included an appendix with a pronunciation guide or a glossary of terms? If so, I'd love your help! I want to know:
1) How they should be formatted (alphabetical, whether there should be parentheses around the pronunciations, etc)
2) Whether these supplemental materials should be included in a manuscript you send to an agent/publisher
My assumption was that the appendix should be included in the table of contents of the full manuscript, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Ideally, the book itself will explain these things on its own, but I think a guide would be a nice cheat sheet if nothing else, especially in the case of pronunciations.
