Indexing
Indexes can be compiled from the final typescript or from the publisher’s galley proofs, however the latter is usually the most efficient means of constructing an index.
The most common form of index required by publishers is a combined subject-and-author index. However, others require more specialist treatment.
While constructing an index may appear to be a very technical exercise the inclusion or exclusion of given headings and sub-headings is a complex and subjective task requiring a nuanced understanding of the manuscript involved.
EnZo Consultancy is committed to compiling an index that reflects the author’s key emphases, which allow the reader to gain the greatest possible understanding of the text. Your index is the best map to your work, and all too frequently haphazardly constructed indexes detract from the reader’s capacity to use the text.
With that in mind EnZo Consultancy works in close collaboration with the author, and a typical index will go through a number of drafts to ensure that it matches the client’s expectation of how their work should be presented.
