Composition and indexes built for real readers
We compose pages that guide the eye and indexes that actually help someone find what they need, whether the destination is print, PDF, or reflowable EPUB.
Everything you need for Indexing & Composition, without the gaps
We handle the whole chain so you do not have to stitch vendors — and we show our work at each step so you can trust it.
Indexing
Back-of-book and embedded indexes built by professional indexers — main entries, sub-entries, and cross-references that reflect how readers think, not just what words appear.
Typesetting & composition
InDesign-led composition for series look and feel, with master pages, grid, and style mapping that survives late corrections.
Figure & table handling
Pagination, art placement, and caption consistency that keeps complex pages readable and keeps cross-references accurate.
Reflowable & fixed-layout EPUB
Indexes linked and navigable in digital, with anchor integrity checked across formats.
Series consistency
Composition parity across volumes via shared style libraries and automated preflight checks.
Prepress & export
Print-ready PDFs, press checks, and digital packages delivered to spec.
A team that has done this before — and learned where it breaks
We keep the parts that consistently improve outcomes and remove the theatre that only looks good in a pitch deck.
Indexers, not algorithms
Human judgment for index structure — algorithms generate word lists; people make indexes that answer questions.
Composition for learning
White space, hierarchy, and visual pacing are instructional decisions, not decoration.
Linked, not broken
We test every cross-reference, index locator, and hyperlink before delivery.
Four steps, no black boxes
Sample composition
We set 5–10 pages as a style proof and agree on grid, fonts, and figure treatment.
Compose & flow
Chapters are flowed, art placed, and pages batched for your review with a punch list.
Index & cross-check
Indexes are built against final paginated proofs; locators and cross-references are validated.
Deliver packs
Print PDFs, digital EPUBs, and source InDesign packages with a corrections log.
