Directory of Indexers
in the Pacific Northwest
by Specialty & Skill

This is a self-selected list of indexers who are members of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the American Society for Indexing and are willing to be contacted about freelance indexing projects. The PNW Chapter encourages each publisher to discuss projects with indexers and confirm appropriate qualifications.

How to Use This Guide

  1. If you are seeking an indexer by name or business name, go to the alphabetical list of indexers page.
    .
  2. If you wish to locate an indexer who specializes in your book's topic, who has certain software skills, language skills, or who specializes in indexing certain types of materials, use the table of subject specialties below or scroll down this page.

Members of PNW/ASI wishing to be included in the Directory should visit the Application page.

This Directory and its earlier editions would not have been possible without the contributions of volunteers, especially Martha Osgood, Kristin Manke, Cheryl Landes, and Debra Spidal.
