Fees
Indexing fees are usually based upon an hourly rate which
depends on the complexity of the material and the proximity of the
deadline. Given a representative sample of the document,
I will quote a rate per indexable page or a fixed price for
the whole job. However, for jobs of 400 indexable pages or less I
am happy to use the rates below.
For a rough guide to the cost for projects over 400 pages, use my
Instant Quotation
page. For a full quote please
Request a Quotation.
Payment is due upon delivery of the completed index, however, for new, non-corporate
clients I require a 10% deposit in advance of beginning work.

Camera Ready Copy requires formatting the completed index to the precise requirements of the publisher. This will include:
- laying out margins and columns exactly;
- adding headers/footers containing appropriate text (running heads), and page numbers on the outside of the page;
- applying correct fonts, font sizes, intercharacter spacing and interline spacing to each of the index headings and entries, with correct indentation and line wrapping;
- adjusting subheadings so that they do not break over a page boundary;
- adding in continuation texts where subheadings continue past a page boundary;
- and, particularly for Indexes of Sources/Texts, adding in headings between sections which span multiple columns.
The result must then be delivered in a PDF which includes the fonts embedded and using the color schema appropriate to the press, usually CYMK rather than RGB.
This work is usually done by a typesetter. However, some publishers require that the author provides Camera Ready Copy. Indexers usually supply indexes unformatted.
