Who Are We?
Indexers Unlimited was founded in March 2002 with the goal of bringing together a
limited number of dedicated, professional indexers. By combining our knowledge,
experience, and specialized skills, we are able to meet the continually
expanding needs of the publishing, media, and information architecture
communities.
Indexers Unlimited members have expertise in 60 subject categories and are able
to index in practically every media format imaginable.
Why Did We Create Indexers Unlimited?
Our goal is simple. We intend to become the destination of choice for the
publishing community in search of professional indexing services. In addition,
editors and authors can come to Indexers Unlimited to find resources on the
indexing process, including articles written about important topics and answers
to difficult indexing questions. Our "Ask an Indexer" feature is a free service
for authors, editors, or other publishing industry workers. Simply send your
question to IU at ask@indexersunlimited.org.
Your question (but not identity) may be submitted to our 50 member experts.
Why Use Indexers Unlimited?
Indexers Unlimited members must meet stringent requirements in order to be
eligible for admission into the group. Each applicant must submit at least one
sample index and references from three clients who will vouch for the high
quality of his or her work. Each member must have at least three full years of
proven, published indexing experience (the average level of service for all
Indexers Unlimited members is more than ten years). No other directory of indexers in North
America requires such proof of competence and experience. None.
In addition to the stringent admission requirements, Indexers Unlimited
membership is limited in size. In contrast to the directories of larger indexing
organizations, you are not confronted with a list of 70, 80, or more indexers'
names when looking for a specialist in one category or another. And those you do
find listed have been vetted by the membership process.
When you select an Indexers Unlimited member to index your project, you can be
assured you are going to get a professional with experience who produces
high-quality work. You get to contact, interview, and negotiate with each
indexer in our listings independently.
