Book Indexer

What exactly does a book indexer do you ask?

When you grab a nonfiction book and you are searching for a specific piece of information within that book, where do you usually look first? The index in the back of the book is most likely your answer. There in the back of the book you will find alphabetically, neat, organized subjects with page numbers to jump to the specific information you are looking for.

If you are a person that loves book and you are detail oriented, you could very well be the person in charge of organizing and indexing books. Accuracy is a must as the index is the detailed layout of the book so readers can skip around to the topic they need to find right away.
