How I'll create the perfect book index for you
As a freelance book indexer, I usually follow a specific process.
After we have had our free meeting to discuss your vision of your book, I’ll immerse myself in your manuscript. First, I’ll read it start to finish to get a clear picture of what the book’s about, to ensure a more effective book indexing process. During the reading process, I will ask myself two questions: which concepts do you most want to communicate about, and which ideas are your readers most likely to revisit?
Based on this, I’ll start indexing in Microsoft Word. During this part of the indexing process, I’ll make sure to preserve the tone and style of your book in the index as well – including your sense of humor, and those associations that make your thinking unique. This results in a manual and tailored level of indexing that no software can get close to.
When I’ve completed the indexing process, I’ll send you your personalized book index. You can review it and together we can discuss any changes you’d like me to make before your final index delivery.

Here's why professional book indexing services are right for you
I believe book indexing combines the needs of the author (you!) to communicate effectively; and the reader’s need to find the information they are looking for. In other words: a successful book index reflects your book’s tone and style, whilst including every term a reader might be looking for. That is why a freelance book indexer will be able to write a more effective index than the author and software combined!
Navigating a nonfiction book should be an enriching experience, allowing readers to delve deeper into your knowledge and insights. Through my professional book indexing services, I can capture the essence of your work and guide readers to key concepts, references, and ideas with precision and insight. Give your readers the gift of a seamless and fulfilling reading journey with my freelance book indexing services!
