"Thank you SO MUCH for creating this wonderfully detailed index. So many indexes these days are so superficial and essentially useless. You have created one that is conceptually detailed and complete.” - Academic Author

"It’s always a joy to work with you on our manuscripts and we will certainly continue to recommend your services to our authors." - Production Editor

"Salmon Bay Indexing always delivers high-quality, comprehensive indexes, on time, and on budget. I would recommend her work most highly." - Publisher

Publishers rely on Salmon Bay Indexing to deliver indexes on time and according to their specifications.

Good indexes sell books. Potential buyers look at the index first to determine whether a book contains the information they want.

As an indexer, I create access points into the text. I carefully read the text and write an index including main entries for all relevant terms and any terms readers may search for. I break down main entries into subentries and include cross-references as needed. I work with publisher specifications to ensure that the index reflects the author’s voice and serves the readers' needs.
