How to Find an Indexer

An indexer works to organize information, such as that found in a book or magazine, so that the information can be easily found by searching through the index. Some indexers work for large publishing companies with a team of other indexers while others work on their own on a freelance basis. When you need to find an indexer, whether it be through a publishing company or individual, there is a way to get a list of those available for hire.
