Dakota Indexing

Back-of-the-Book Indexing for Authors and Publishers

Capitalizing upon a lifetime of learning and working before coming to freelance indexing, I can bring a wealth of experience to your project.

I began freelance indexing in 2000 and currently have over 400 indexes in published books.
