Laurie Graulich

Laurie Graulich – Editor

I'm a librarian and book lover who's been creating reader-friendly indexes since 2009.

Overview

Greetings! Need an accurate, thorough, and reader-friendly index for your book? I have indexed over 260 titles for my clients, who include the American Library Association, Scholastic, The Experiment Publishing, and Rosen Publishing. I completed the American Society for Indexing training program in 2010.

I provide a traditional, back-of-the-book index (as an RTF or DOCX file) after reading your book's final page proofs. My index entries are designed to help your readers - whether they read your book cover to cover, or just skim the index to see if a specific topic is discussed.

My standard rate is $3.50 to $5.00 per indexable page, depending on the density and complexity of the material.

My standard turnaround time is two to three weeks. Rush jobs can be accommodated, schedule permitting, for an additional fee.

Books for children and young adults start at $2.00 per indexable page (or a flat rate can be negotiated) and typically have a one week turnaround.
