Back-of-book and embedded indexes for scholarly, trade, and technology and design books.
As an award-winning professional indexer, I deliver indexes that:
- Are accurate, on-time, and meet publisher requirements
- Are true to the author's conceptual structure and vision
- Help readers quickly find the information they need
- Help potential buyers decide to purchase the book
I have master's degrees in information science and social psychology, have written fiction and nonfiction, and have experience working on research teams and developing software and documentation. I can understand what's important about a book, anticipate readers' questions, and guide them to the right information.

"I was very impressed by [Elizabeth's] shrewd judgments, tenacious work effort, and professional handling of the entire process. She discovered an embarrassing number of mistakes in the proofs I had not caught and was invariably gracious and genial in all of our interactions….I am happy to recommend her with no reservations to anyone in search of a first-rate index." —Martin Jay, author of Immanent Critiques: The Frankfurt School under Pressure and Magical Nominalism: The Historical Event, Aesthetic Reenchantment, and the Photograph
"[Elizabeth] can index like nobody else. It would have taken me five months to index what I have. Elizabeth completed the index in five days, and at a very reasonable rate." —Jerry Baiden, author of Why Pop Music Sucks: The Making of the Post Rock N Roll Era
