Gina Guilinger – Editor

I provide high quality user-friendly back-of-the-book indexes for trade, scholarly, and children's authors and publishers.

Overview

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, geography, geology & mining industry, homeschooling, juvenile nonfiction, parenting, public utilities, religion and spirituality, self-improvement, social sciences, textbooks, travel, and water/wastewater industry.

In addition to subject indexes, I can create name indexes, scripture indexes, and source/reference indexes or index locorum.

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. I would love to discuss your indexing needs and provide a quote for your project!

I am a member of the American Society for Indexing, currently serving on the Executive Board as the Immediate Past President of ASI, and have served previously as the Chair of the ASI Membership Committee. I am also a member of the Rocky Mountain Area Chapter of ASI, where I served on the Executive Board as Vice Chair and Chair from 2012-2016. Other professional memberships include: Indexing Society of Canada and Editorial Freelancers Association. I am a graduate of the UC Berkeley Indexing Theory and Application course. I received my BA in Law, Societies, and Justice from the University of Washington.
