Project details

I can create a complete/comprehensive, and detailed index that includes major topics covered in the book. I can complete the task in quickest turnaround time. I have a keen eye for detail and my client can be sure of the following in the index generated: key concepts and themes listed appropriately under the correct level; attention to structure and clarity; alphabetized entries; relevant subentries and cross-references. My experience spans over 23 years and my expertise in indexing includes the following: New index (back-of-the-book index) generation using the camera-ready proofs; Embedded indexing in Word documents/live files; Index generation from author/client-provided keywords; Page number updating for existing index (when there is a change in page flow); Multiple indexes generation as per client’s needs.

Polish and Format Final Index for 360-Page Nonfiction Book Parimala was wonderful to work with! She went through my book thoroughly, page by page, and worked with me to categorize and index all of the important terms. She completed the initial index with an impressively fast turnaround, and when modifications were needed that shifted some of the page flow, she went back in without hesitation to make the necessary changes. She handled that extra step with grace and professionalism, and still delivered a stellar product in record time. I truly appreciate her diligence, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. I would highly recommend Parimala and would gladly work with her again!

Steps for completing your project

After purchasing the project, send requirements so Parimala can start the project.

Delivery time starts when Parimala receives requirements from you.

Parimala works on your project following the steps below.

Revisions may occur after the delivery date.

Step 1: Identification of key terms

After a careful job study on the topic and the way it is discussed in the book, I work on "identifying" the words/terms that are used to explain the subject matter of the book to present them in index.

Step 2: Presentation of the identified key terms

After identifying the indexable terms, I work on presenting the same under the correct alphabet (where I anticipate readers will search); correct level (main/Level 1 or sub/Level 2 or sub-sub/Level 3); correct cross reference (See or See also).

Review the work, release payment, and leave feedback to Parimala.
