<div dir="ltr">Hi David, <div><br></div><div>We don't normally have the mark up include About the Author. However, you can use the class attributes prelimitem (for matter before the main content of the book) and concluitem (for matter after the main content of the book) for anything that doesn't fit into the set list of class attributes. So if you want About the Author included in the mark up, you can use prelimitem for that. Some of the novels we have done recently have Reading Group Discussion Questions, or a Conversation with the author at the end of the book, and we would use concluitem for things like that.
