What exactly is "front of book" in a magazine? I've been seeing all kinds of tips on pitching "front of book."

What does "front of book" mean?

Thank you.

The front of the book is the front of the magazine where shorter articles appear. Many magazines like to try out writers in this section so you might have better luck when pitching a "Front of the Book" story.

It's literally a section at the front of a magazine, where very brief (and often un-bylined) pieces appear. It's known as the best way to break into a larger publication.
