I index trade books, scholarly publications, and textbooks in a wide variety of subject areas, from the humanities and social sciences to biomedical sciences.
I've undertaken specialized training in medical indexing and medical terminology.
I also have a personal interest in fiber arts and DIY, biography and memoir, horticulture, psychology, history, linguistics, disability studies, Indigenous studies, and French-language materials.
The indexes I write can be submitted to the publisher in whatever format you need, separate or embedded. I'm skilled at creating embedded indexes in formats including but not limited to Word, InDesign, XML, and ePub.
Services
As a new indexer, my rates are competitive with industry standards at $12-32 USD per 1,000 words.
The exact rate depends on the complexity and density of indexing required (trade books cost less than medical textbooks to index, for example). For that reason, I do need to see a draft of your book to be able to provide an accurate estimate.
To request a quote or to see if we're a good fit, please contact me using the form below, which will prompts you to provide:
Your book's topic and intended audience
Estimated word count
A draft of your book
Projected timeline
Any questions
I will get back to you as soon as possible with a quote and any follow-up questions.
And if I'm not able to take on your project, I will help you find a professional indexer who can!
