Services
I provide high quality user-friendly back-of-the-book indexes for trade, scholarly, and children's authors and publishers. Client satisfaction, accurate indexes, and on-time delivery are of the highest priority.
I specialize in back-of-book indexes in a wide variety of subjects. Areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: arts & crafts, Catholicism, cookbooks, criminology, earth sciences, education, food and beverage, general history, general science, geology & mining industry, homeschooling, juvenile nonfiction, parenting, religion and spirituality, social sciences, travel, and water/wastewater industry.
In addition to subject indexes, I can create name indexes, scripture indexes, and source/reference indexes or index locorum. I can also accommodate rush projects.
Rates are dependent on the nature of the work to be indexed, the depth of the index required, and the time frame for completion. I charge by the indexable page. Please contact me to discuss your indexing needs and receive a quote for your project.
