Indexing
To maximize the usability of a nonfiction title, we recommend including an index. Our indexers will provide you with an industry-standard, two-level topical index that is personalized to provide maximum usability for the book's target audience.
Computer-generated keyword indexes that list a page number for a key term each time it occurs in the book are overly long and have no logical organization other than alphabetization. On the other hand, a professional indexer analyzes your entire book, anticipating line items your reader will most likely want to find and listing them in an intuitive, accessible manner.
Before handcrafting your one-of-a-kind index, our professional indexer considers the following four elements that make your book unique:
- Focus
- Purpose
- Audience
- Organization
I am looking (awe-struck) at the proofs for Thy Boys. I have worked in publishing all my long life but I have never before experienced such sensitive handling of a complicated manuscript. If we wore hats in Hawaii, I would take mine off to you. You are so gifted and careful and I thank you so much.

Please note: We craft indexes from the final, formatted, author-approved pages. Changes made post-indexing may alter the pagination and detract from the index's usability.
