Bobbi, Unless you are trying to pad the index or the editor has told you to super analyze I'd enter it as uchikomi drills 40-42. Ina Ina Gravitz I. Gravitz...
That is a good point, and I had thought about it, but the editor said that the authors want all of the drills and exercises entered, even the ones in the...

I just read a "Murphy's Law" type of list, and this was on it. I am not familiar with the name "Weiner", but I loved the statement. It goes as follows: *...
What is your definition of a "rush job" - what is your cut-off of page numbers per week or how ever you decide it's a rush? Thanks! Candi ...

I have 2 books now that are around 300 pages, and each of them has a 10 day turnaround - I don't consider that a rush job, and the third book is about 400...

Thanks to everyone who replied, although I'm not getting the impression that anyone factors in a "rush" job into their quotes. One person implied that she was ...

We seem to be all over the place on this topic. There are so many variables that one can not say what is the "norm" since it is just different for everyone. ...
... I agree. But I think there's probably some very loose definition of "rush job" that might be useful. Some of us do charge rush fees, and others (like me)...
I agree with Jackie that "rush" is defined largely by personal situations. I also often start working at noon and work into the early hours of the morning. I,...
There seems to be a gap in many indexers lives between how many hours in a day/week they WANT to work, vs. how many they CAN work. Where this gap exists, ...
This is exactly why I am thrilled when an editor offers to pay me a higher rate than I usually ask for when they want a rush job - it may be a rush job for the...
... That's where the type of book and the depth of indexing comes into play. If that 5-day, 325-page book required 8-10 entries per page, had lots of foreign...
You are so right - I forgot to factor in the difficulty factor! The books I mention are mostly trade books, with 3-5 entries per page, so they are not ...
I have what I guess is a very basic question, but I can't see the forest for the trees, and could use some input. I am working on a high school textbook, and...
