Indexing Services

When your next project is ready for an index, Modern Parlance is ready to help. 

Why an index?

  • To bring the reader to information quickly

  • To highlight implied concepts as well as explicit terms, and illustrate the links between them

  • To enhance the value of  your book by increasing its usability

  • To encourage a return to the text and save time for those doing so

Whether your title is trade or academic, geared to an adult or juvenile audience―we will create the index designed to bring your book and that audience together quickly, effectively, and seamlessly in the style and tone of your text. With competition for shelf space and buyers getting fiercer all the time, the index is not a luxury that your book can do without. It has become a key factor in the book-buying decision. An index can be the edge that gets your book, and not the one next to it, included on the purchase order or brought up to the cashier.

Combining years of indexing skills and experience with a passion for information architecture and a love of books, Modern Parlance produces back-of-the-book indexes designed for maximum usability and consistency―indexes that give you that edge.
