This looks really good. Who did the index? We should work with him/her more often. This is very thorough.

Page rates can vary widely and cannot be quoted sight unseen (without discussion of the material involved and the index(es) needed.) Some of the factors that go into determining page rates include:

• Density of material (number of index entries per page)
• Manuscript page size
• Indexing method needed (embedded indexing, standalone back-of-the-book)
• Types of indexes needed (subject, name/author, title)
• Subject matter and expected audience (general trade, professional, scientific/technical)
• Turnaround time (rush jobs—more than 200 pages per week)

I will work with you to establish a fee structure that is equitable for everyone. Rates can vary from $2 to over $8 an indexable page, depending on complexity and level of effort involved.
