About Me
Deanna Butler
Owner and Operator
20+ years of indexing experience
I take great pride in the fact that most of my projects come from repeat clients, who speak very highly of my work. I value my ability to create quality professional indexes, in a timely and affordable manner that add both value and usability to an author’s text.
Indexing skills across a broad array of topics
Much of my work is focused on professional psychology, education, research methods, and geography, along with trade books on self-help, parenting, organization, and mindfulness practices. My list of published indexes includes nearly 900 titles. You can find a sampling of a few of them on this page.
“Extremely detail oriented and always beats her deadline. I give Deanna all of my most difficult handbooks to index.”
