The index is an essential component of the non-fiction book, and is a guide to the individual subjects, ideas and facts contained therein. It is a cross-referenced map to the contents of your book for the serious reader and researcher, providing fast access to information. No serious work of non-fiction should be without an index, although many are. A good index can only be written by someone with a detailed knowledge of your book and your ideas. Indexing software will never have the insight of a professional indexer, and a good index enhances the value of any serious piece of non-fiction writing. As a career academic, I have extensive experience of indexing, and can relieve you of the meticulous burden of indexing your work, or placing your book in the hands of an in-house and generic indexer who will rush through your book without any real understanding of its contents. Working off final publisher’s proofs, I will read and analyse your book thoroughly, filtering information and identifying central concepts in order to create a cross-referenced and paginated index of the highest quality and of which you can be proud. As a writer and a scholar, and you can trust me with your book.
