Indexing for Editors and Authors
A Practical Guide to Understanding Indexes
By Fred Leise, Kate Mertes, and Nan Badgett
At last—an indexing guide for editors, authors,
and designers who need to create, edit, format, or evaluate indexes and
work with professional indexers. Three experienced indexer-authors
explain the various types of indexes, the characteristics of good
indexes, and common formatting considerations. They share dozens of
practical tips and more than 100 examples of good and bad indexing
practices. Publishing professionals will not only learn how to edit an
index, but how to hire freelance indexers and maintain successful
editor/author/indexer relationships. While geared to the needs of
publishing professionals who are not indexers, the book will serve
indexers as a guide to navigating the publishing process and explaining
indexing processes to their clients.
