Price indication:

Per indexable page I charge between £2.50 and £5.00. Usually an index for a non-specialist text costs £ 2.80 per page, the index to an average scholarly book £3.25. These figures can be used as a basis for estimating the total cost of an index.  I can give you a final estimate, depending on the complexity of the text and the sort of index required, after I’ve seen the proofs.

I can make use of the following software:

 

· inDesign

· Macrex

· SKY Index

· Word
