SPECS SHEET

To determine the style specifications you want for your index, you can use this Specs Sheet. It asks you to consider the index configuration and if you’d like me to follow the Chicago Manual of Style or use a house style.
To get started, you can contact Mary Stevens through this form. Please provide the following information:
​
​1) The book's topic. An abstract or sample page is also very helpful.
2) If it is a trade book, textbook, scholarly book, or manual

3) The total number of words on the indexable pages (the introduction and chapters)
4) If you'd like the endnotes/footnotes indexed (if so, please include in word count)
5) When you expect to send me the final proofs (PDF)
​6) The due date for the index. A 200-page book would take around 2–3 weeks.
