Costs

---

Indexing costs vary according to the density and complexity of the text, numbers of pages, and timelines. A dense scholarly text will require a higher per page rate than a more straightforward text. 

Generally, I charge in the range of C$4.50-C$6.50 per indexable* page. 

I will provide a detailed quotation after you send me a sample chapter or a full draft of the manuscript.  Cost will be confirmed as soon as final page proofs are provided.

*Some sections of the manuscript, such as Preface, Acknowledgements, and Appendices, are usually not indexed. Endnotes may or may not be indexed.

Emailed acceptance of a quotation with agreed delivery date serves as a contract between author/press and indexer.  As my volume of indexing falls under the threshold when GST has to be added, no additional taxes are charged. My quoted rate is what you will pay.

Payment can be provided:

· via cheque, made out to Paula Butler, through regular mail

· as an e-transfer to the indexer at pbutler816@gmail.com (security code "index" if needed)

For USA-based clients, I accept payment in US funds. Pricing will be calculated using the exchange rate for Canada-USA funds on the date of contract.

Payment is due within 30 days of invoicing with delivery of final edited index.
