Indexing

I’m a professional member of the Society of Indexers and index books across the arts and humanities spectrum. I have particular expertise in history, literature, film, theatre, cultural studies, biography, gender studies, sociology, lifestyle books and children's books. 

​

I index books for publishers, academics and writers. If you would like to discuss a project, please get in touch with a few details about your book. Every project is different and I will provide a quote tailored to your requirements, but to give a rough idea of cost, please see the Society of Indexers' recommended fees. If you would like me to proofread your book too, a 20% discount will be applied.

“I’m so pleased with the service offered by Anna and highly recommend her to anyone interested in indexing services. Anna was able to distil all the major themes of the text into an index that my readers will find extremely useful when navigating my book. The whole process from start to finish was very smooth, and Anna made this part of the book’s production stress free. Thank you so much!”
