High-quality indexes prepared for scholarly titles, legal texts, and other nonfiction publications

Overview

I am a professional indexer with over 30 years experience, initially as an in-house indexer in legal publishing and more recently in my own practice for 20 years. I offer high-quality for legal and scholarly texts, specializing in all fields of law plus political theory/policy, economics, history, and religion. I have worked with many major legal publishers, university presses, and other organizations, and have a great reputation for quality, accuracy, comprehensiveness, and timeliness.

Authors and editors can expect quality back-of-book indexes created with the most current dedicated indexing software and in conformity with the most widely-accepted indexing standards. Embedded indexes with xml code are also available subject to certain conditions. Deadline are always met, rates are always reasonable. Contract to have an index created and never have to deal with freelancer delay or drama!
