literary acknowledgments

Literary acknowledgments are sections at the beginning or end of a book where authors express gratitude to individuals, organizations, or resources that supported or contributed to their work. These can include mentors, friends, research sources, or institutions that provided assistance, inspiration, or encouragement. Acknowledgments serve to recognize the collaborative effort behind a book's creation and offer transparency about influences or support received. They are a customary part of scholarly, creative, and non-fiction works, reflecting appreciation and giving credit to those who helped make the project possible.
