Indexer Locator

I am a professional indexer that provides back-of-the-book and embedded indexes in English and Dutch. My indexes are thorough and will be delivered within your time frame. I offer a competitive price and I am willing to take on last-minute projects.

Exter Indexing is based in Haarlem, the Netherlands. I live here with my husband, two sons, and two cats. The name Exter is derived from the word ekster, which means magpie in Dutch. My love of birds is the inspiration for this name and concept.

I am a regular attendee of the various indexing societies’ annual conferences, and a contributor to our professional journal, The Indexer. I also keep up to date with indexing standards through society membership and volunteer work.

I am able to take on projects from many different subjects. Even though most of my training is in the humanities, I am able to index entry-level books from any area.
