indexing services for self-publishers

An index is an essential component of any non-fiction book. Not only does it provide a roadmap to your book, it also serves as a marketing tool. Prospective readers will often flip to the back pages to see exactly what topics a book covers before buying.

Crystal has a master's degree in library and information science, as well as professional experience indexing software manuals, online help, and her own book.

indexing for authors who are self-publishing

Crystal's indexing services are geared toward writers who are self-publishing general non-fiction and not toward academic or technical works.

Crystal will work with your completed Word document and create an index using Word's indexing tool.
