Sandy Blood, Freelance Indexer
Index Styles
Many publishers have their own index style guidelines. If you
do not have one, there are several style choices to be
considered. The primary components of index style are:

Format of entries
Alphabetizing of entries
Cross-reference format and placement
Capitalization style
Page reference format

When you contact me to discuss an indexing project, there
will also be other
questions I'll ask before I can begin.
