The JLS Philosophy. A custom index is the final link in a chain of communication connecting authors to their readers. As a professional indexer, Andrea anticipates readers’ needs and, while keeping the author’s voice and intent in mind, creates a network of access points that helps readers quickly find what they’re looking for.

Andrea’s Background . As well as being a trained indexer, Andrea holds advanced degrees in Literary Research and Interdisciplinary Studies. She is familiar with a variety of subjects, is adept at identifying a text’s key points from different points of view, and has a user’s appreciation a functional index. Having worked as an editor, she is detail-oriented and respectful of deadlines. And since she is herself a writer, Andrea works to provide indexes that uphold the integrity of the text the author has worked hard to produce.

Areas of Specialization

Format. Indexes are formatted according to your requirements. If you don’t have a style sheet, or are unsure of the best format for the book’s content or the space available, we will discuss these issues during our initial consultation, and will agree on a format before indexing begins.

Rates. Indexing rates vary, typically ranging from $2.50-$5.50 per page. Page rates are based on the complexity of the content, the density of text on the page, the space available for the index, and your deadline (rush jobs warrant higher rates). Postage and printing costs may be added to the final invoice. Payment is due upon receipt of work, delinquent after thirty days, whereupon late charges may apply.
