Welcome
to AdVerbum Book Works. I specialize in designing
back-of-the book indexes that are well structured,
user-friendly and provide lasting value.
Why include
an index prepared by a professional indexer? Indexers identify, assimilate
and gather important concepts in a text, providing
consistent and useful access points for readers. The
American Society for Indexing (ASI) outlines additional
qualities skilled indexers possess that contribute to the
quality of an index - perspective, a sense of proportion and priority, patience, speed, technical training, experience, knowledge of publishing practice, and the ability
to use these skills under the pressure of deadlines. ASI
also urges authors, publishers and booksellers to
consider the potential financial impact of a well designed
index in bookstore sales, text adoptions and reviews. For
more information on indexing and working with indexers,
visit ASI's
website.
Understanding the importance of a skillfully crafted index
simplifies the decision of working with a professional
indexer ... why would one not include an index prepared by a
professional?
Thank you for visiting my site!
