Helping you connect your readers to your writing

You’re coming to the end of writing your book. The editing is wrapping up and the page proofs will be next.

Throughout your writing, you’ve been thinking about your readers…polishing the logic, fine-tuning the phrases, and scrubbing for clarity.

You’ve finished your work, but there is still one more thing your readers need…your professionally prepared index.

Indexing specialties

I specialize in indexes for biographies and memoirs, history, business, science, technology, cookbooks, travel, and nature. I am open to indexing in other topics too.

Indexes that connect readers in the best possible way

A good index points to information even when you don’t know the precise search term. It avoids sending you on wild goose chases. If you are picking up a book for the first time, a good index will give you the gist of the book, and perhaps the motivation to buy it.

Those are the qualities I put into my indexes.

My approach to indexing puts readers first while accommodating your deadlines, page limits, and priorities. Using professional indexing software, I make the index conform to your specifications and style guide. If you don’t have any index specifications, I will suggest what works best for your content and your audience.
