Indexing
The last thing most writers want to do is revisit their completed and typeset manuscript in order to write an index. And it’s easy to miss the forest for the trees. Indexing processes differ widely based on the press, so handing this job to a professional can alleviate your stress in that final stretch. I limit my indexing services to select subjects based on my own knowledge, so schedule a complimentary consultation to learn more.
