Rates
Rates depend on many factors because books vary in depth and complexity. The type of book (trade books are less than scholarly texts), subject matter, intended audience and amount of text on a page need to be considered. It is extremely helpful to have sample pages of the text to be indexed in advance of setting the rate. The usually charges are $3.00 to $4.00 for each page indexed, but this may be higher or lower depending on the various characteristics mentioned above. Rush jobs would also cost more.
