INDEXING SOLUTIONS

  • I provide thorough, detailed back-of-the-book professional indexes, carefully edited.
  • I respond to queries within 24 hours.
  • Indexes are usually returned before the deadline.
  • I index textbooks, trade books, and scholarly works from manuscripts submitted as PDF files.
  • Indexes are created in SKY Index and returned as MS Word .docx or .rtf files.
  • I will work on a quick deadline as my schedule permits.
  • I gladly index a variety of subjects, but areas of particular interest include:
    • (1) environmental science
    • (2) climate change
    • (3) sustainable planning
    • (4) land use, planning law, and natural resource regulation
  • Charges are computed per indexable page for trade books, textbooks, and scholarly works. Special formats can be computed by word count.
