This guide outlines the essential components of a manuscript for Darsafi Publishing.

Required Components

Almost every Darsafi book requires the following:

• Preface:  Distinct from the introduction, the preface addresses the reader directly, explaining the book's purpose, scope, research methods, organization, and significance within the field. It establishes the work's scholarly credibility.
• Introduction: Summarizes the book's subject matter, providing a bridge between the title and the detailed content of the first chapter.
• Notes:  Provide necessary citations, elaborations, and supporting information.
• Bibliography: Lists all cited sources in a consistent format.
• Index: An indispensable tool for readers to locate specific information within the book. Authors are responsible for compiling the index during the proofreading stage using Darsafi's indexing guide.

Optional Components

Depending on the nature of your book, you may also include:

• Dedication: A brief inscription honoring an individual or group.
• Acknowledgments: Expresses gratitude to those who assisted with the book's development.
• Foreword:  A short introductory piece written by a recognized expert in the field (requires permission). While forewords rarely impact sales, they can add credibility.
