Acknowledgment pages are traditionally placed within the front matter of books, though they will occasionally appear in the back instead. As we pointed out in a previous blog post, the acknowledgment section is sometimes grouped within the preface.
A special thanks to my literary agent, agent's name, for believing in this story and championing it tirelessly. The editorial team at publishing house deserves applause for their insightful feedback and dedication to shaping this manuscript.
Acknowledgements dos and don'ts Write in first-person, professional language. Thank your professional contacts first. Include full names, titles, and roles of professional acknowledgements. Include personal or intangible supporters, like friends, family, or even pets. Mention funding bodies and what they funded.

Sometimes, you can list names of people in your Acknowledgements. For example, if you're thanking people who you interviewed for the book, it's acceptable to list their names. Say something specific about how you feel each person contributed to your success. It can be a single sentence, a few sentences, or a paragraph.
You might see some people recommend the Acknowledgments section be only one page. Ignore that. This is the only section I will tell you that you can go long if you want. You may only write one book in your life, and if that is the case, then take all the time and space you need to thank everyone who helped you.
``I want to thank my friends for always being there for me during this journey. Their encouragement and support made a significant difference in my life.'' ``I would like to acknowledge everyone who contributed to this project, whether directly or indirectly. Your support has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful.''
I thank all the teachers who helped me by providing the equipment that was necessary and vital, without which I would not have been able to work effectively on this assignment. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to my friends and parents, who stood by me and encouraged me to work on this assignment.
Acknowledge Sacrifices Made If someone made a sacrifice to support your writing (ie family members), mention that you see the sacrifice they made and that you appreciate it. Hint: anyone you live with probably sacrificed something to enable you to finish your book. Be sure to thank them.
