: Re: Are tables of contents mandatory in novels? I've had several people ask me why my fiction story does not have a table of contents. I never really thought about it, seeing as plenty of fiction

Although I do not feel it is required to use a Table of Contents, I will suggest that it has been helpful for me in structuring. Also, I love that if I am working on my manuscript and I think of something that I want to go back to, I can go to my TOC and click on a page number and find the area I'm concerned with very quickly. So, even if you consider using a TOC just for your manuscript to use it as a helpful tool for your own purposes, it could be deleted afterwards before going to print.
