Simon Yapp

Simon Yapp – Editor

Experienced book indexer with over 10 years working for publishers such as Wiley and Oxford University Press.

Overview

I have been making indexes for large and small publishers for over a decade after being trained at Indexing Specialists(UK).


I have gained experience working both on single-author books of several hundred pages and multi-volume, multi-author works of several thousand pages.


The subject matters I have tackled include complex and speciality fields ranging from organic chemistry and materials science, to photography and accounting standards; whilst also making indexes for less demanding titles, such as textbooks, management, and self-improvement titles. I am a fast study, so novel topics to me will be researched before I begin the creation of an index.


My rates vary upon the complexity of the subject and the complexity (or density) of the index required.
