Does your book need an index? Major publishers and individual authors have utilized my indexing talents for 160+ books. You can too.

Overview

During my 40 years of indexing and publishing experience, I have created more than 150 back-of-the-book indexes for various publishers, book packagers, and authors. Books I've indexed cover history, popular culture, arts and crafts, writing, design, psychology, education, sports, sociology, biography, and more. Basically, give me a book and I'll provide you with a useful and accurate index in a short time.

As a former full-time book publishing professional, I know the importance of a good index not only to the reader, but also to the publisher’s and/or author's marketing efforts.

Clients have included: F&W Media: HOW Books, Writer’s Digest Books, North Light Books, Krause Publications, Betterway Home; Prima Publications, a division of Random House; SAGE Publications, Inc, Corwin Press; William Morrow; Windsor Publications, Inc; Cherbo Publishing Group; Jostens Publishing Group; and Amnet Systems (ABC-Clio, Greenwood, Public Affairs, University of Alaska Press, Libraries Unlimited, Princeton University Press, Mulholland Books, Praeger).

Also, in my many years of editorial and production experience, I learned that in addition to content and accuracy, the speed in which an index is compiled is a prime concern. Knowing that a late index can delay a book’s publication, I have never missed a deadline.

I am also a member of the American Society of Indexing.

I worked as a full-time publishing professional for Windsor Publications, Inc., North America's largest publisher of illustrated state and local history books during the 1980s and 1990s. During my 12 years there, I held the positions of Editorial Director, Senior Editor, and Senior Photo Editor. While employed by Windsor, I also indexed books on a freelance basis. I have been indexing books since 1980.

Teri, not only did a superb indexing job for my 680 page nonfiction history, she also caught errors in the text. She finished the job way ahead of schedule. I could not be more pleased! She is a keeper and I will call upon her services again.

WOW! I must say that I am truly amazed at the speed and thoroughness of Teri's indexing skills. After receiving my index file from her I was glad that I decided to forgo "trying" to index my book myself. Teri was able to deliver my index sooner than the time we had agreed upon. If you are lookin...
