Services: Indexing and other

Indexing: For material that’s final. Indexing is both an art and a craft, and not just compiling a list of names, places, and facts. I read the publication and prepare an alphabetical list of terms and concepts covered in the text; I select, group, and consolidate page references under main headings and subheadings, and prepare cross references to guide your readers to just what they’re looking for. An index is vital for any nonfiction book.

Fact-checking and research: If you need facts verified, citations and references checked or located, or online research done, I can do so at an hourly rate. For those interested in the art of fact-checking, see the “Mistrust and Verify” tab on the left of the site.
