Why authors shouldn't treat the acknowledgments as an afterthought

The Labor Day holiday is one designed to honor (and express gratitude for) American workers’ contributions and achievements.

In that spirit, we have a post from Writer Unboxed on tackling the acknowledgments section of your novel.

Author Yuvi Zalkow explores why this can feel uncomfortable and yet why it's important to think about them earlier in the writing process in a video post.

(It opens facetiously, albeit quite amusingly, and then switches to content around the 2:00 mark, for those pressed for time.)

You can watch the video below or head to Writer Unboxed to see responses from other writers in the comments.
