Indexing rates can range
from $2 to $8 or more* per indexable page:
- Page size— How
many words are on each page?
- Density — How
many index entries is each page likely to require? For extreme examples, consider
the differences between a large-print children's book and a family history
full of names and places.
- Rush jobs — Some
publishing houses schedule their books months in advance. Others have more
timely books that have to be released quickly.
"Indexable pages"
exclude frontmatter or other pages that are not subject to indexing.
