IndexEmpire specializes in providing high-quality back-of-the-book indexes. This process involves careful reading of the text, extraction of key concepts and terminology, formulation into succinct words and phrases, and organization of the selected material into a logically coherent structure. The use of dedicated indexing software, SKY Index, allows us to work with the index as a whole and to follow publishers’ style preferences.

We work from page proofs and request that they be sent to us only after the pagination has been finalized. (Page changes cause index revisions with added time and cost burdens.) Upon project completion, we provide a printout and a disk with the index file. Files can also be emailed for faster service or for preliminary author review.

Why call IndexEmpire to index your next book?

• You will always know the cost up front because we provide a written contract before beginning the task.

We use an index specifications worksheet to negotiate our final contract. This is for the indexer’s use, but a copy is shown here for our clients’ edification. For a practical time and cost estimate on your job, use our QuickQuote form. We usually reply within 24 hours.
