“Your work is superb.” W. Nathaniel Howell, US Ambassador to Kuwait (1987–91) and Author, Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training
“As a retired writer-editor in the publishing office of the Library of Congress who has worked with several different indexers for a wide variety of books, I was most impressed by Amron’s professionalism, efficiency, and wide cultural and historical knowledge. I could not have been happier with the index and it is already proving to be a prime asset to mining and understanding a complex narrative.” Sara Day, Author, New Academia Publishing

She was on time and she stuck to her estimate. She’s now first on my list for top-quality indexing." Mark Gage, Director of Publishing and Digital Content, Center for Civic Education

Indexing Client Brief
Indexing Client Brief
If you’d like to assist me in the process of index-creation for your book, here are some guidelines to include in an indexing brief.
A professional indexer will not index your book exactly the same way as you would do it yourself. As a professional indexer, I am guided by indexing standards and press specifications. However, no one knows the important themes of the book, and how potential readers will expect to find them listed, better than a book’s author. An indexing brief is best provided as a list of key topics and is best supplied to me before I begin my work on your manuscript.
Some things to consider for your indexing brief:
- In a sentence, state the persons/groups that are your reading audience for this book. This helps the indexer determine the use or formatting of certain terminology.
- Do you expect front matter, illustrative matter, and notes to be included in the index? By default, the indexer will follow the press specifications, however, if you have a need for further discussion, do so with the editor before the indexing begins and then inform the indexer in the brief.
- Are there different terms used synonymously throughout the text for the same concept and should they be collected together under one heading in the index, with cross-references from the synonymous terms? If so, include these in your list and note which is the preferred term.
- By indexing standards, only substantive information or discussion of a term/concept are indexed. It is important to be aware that that the indexer will not list the page number for every reference in the text. By extension, not every person or place mentioned will end up in the index. If there are some topics or themes that you would like to see more exhaustively listed, include this note in your brief.
- If your book includes names in non-English languages, it is helpful to provide a few examples and where you would like the name to be sorted in the index entry. The indexer uses various professional resources to determine sorting rules, however, if there are tricky names you would be wise to add those to your brief. They will be concerned with what letter the name sorts and where the name breaks.
