: Re: How to integrate letters, in-universe book Snippets and the like into a story So, let's say the main characters enter a building, a really big laboratory of sorts. They don't know what was

I don't know if "best practices" are really a thing for writing, but I use the epigraph on top of every chapter to explain something is relevant to the chapter or something everyone in the room would know. This was mainly because I hate the "as everyone in this room knows, the current president of United States is..." type of exposition. I found it a nice way of giving information without having someone explain what they are reading to another person.

Now, if you reference that quote inside. "Bob picked up a book by Walter Kine and puzzled over it." and your quote is by Walter Kine, it's a good indicator that the epigraphs are relevant to the story.

So, I'm in favor of it because I've been doing it for years. :D
