Ok so, I’m kind of new to writing. I wrote a couple of books in my teens but they were just for fun. I’m now starting to write a book I hope to get published.

So, my book starts about a year in the future then will go back to the start (if that makes sense). This is where I really want to rope the reader in but not tell them too much.

My question is, should this be a prologue or chapter 1?
