Express Indexing
$299
A high-quality index is essential for any professional nonfiction book. It increases reader satisfaction, boosts credibility, and makes your content easier to browse, cite, and return to. Until now, indexing has required a manual, time-intensive review by a human indexer — and that level of craftsmanship comes with a higher production cost.
Now you have a more affordable choice.
Express Indexing, a streamlined, budget-friendly option powered by advanced computer-generated indexing technology. This new service gives authors an accurate, comprehensive starting index — at a fraction of the traditional cost.
This technology is not powered by AI, so you can rest assured your content copyright is safe.

What is Express Indexing?
How it Works
- We run your manuscript through our indexing program, which identifies references across your text.
- You receive the generated index to review on your own timeline.
- You add, remove, or adjust entries to match your editorial style, voice, and priorities.
- You submit the finished index for insertion into your print-ready files.
It’s quick. It’s straightforward. And it keeps you fully empowered.

The Benefits
- Save Hundreds of Dollars — Our manual indexing service costs $7 per page, which adds up quickly, especially for longer books. Express Indexing is just $299, no matter your page count.
- Accurate Computer-Generated Output — The automated system captures a wide range of terms and references. While it may include entries you decide not to keep (or omit ones you want to add), the generated index is a dependable, detailed framework for you to build on or accept "as is".
- Full Author Control — You know your book best. With Express Indexing, you can:
- Remove entries you feel are unnecessary
- Add references you feel are important
- Customize the index as deeply or lightly as you wish
- Final File is Entirely Author-Approved — We only insert the index into your print files once you have reviewed and finalized it. This ensures your index reflects your preferences — without the cost of a custom human-produced index.
Who is this Option Best for?
Express Indexing is ideal for authors who:
- Want a professional index for their nonfiction book
- Prefer a lower-cost alternative to traditional indexing
- Need a quick turnaround
If you prefer a polished, professionally curated index crafted entirely by a human expert, our original Premium Manual Indexing Service is available. That service includes human judgment, topic curation, and hierarchy-building — perfect for highly technical or academic works.
