Indexes Explained for Non-Indexers
Webinar airs August 14.

Learn what a non-indexer should know about indexing, from how to edit an overly long index to how not to double-check every page number. This is not a presentation on how to index a book, but rather a guide to understanding indexes as a person working on other steps of the publishing process.
