Indexers

Indexes provide your readers with a searchable map to locate key points in your book. If you are writing a non-fiction book this can be invaluable. It is possible to do it yourself but it can be overwhelming to do. Here is a link to an enlightening article about the process: How to Index Your Book (And Why I’ll Never Do It Again).

Below is a list of indexers that make wonderful indexes.

FYI: Indexing is a process that happens last in the book design process, after all the editing and proofing has been finished and the book has been polished up so that there are no shifting content or page numbers.
