Testimonials
"Working with Savage Indexing was an absolute joy. I felt like Cynthia actually understood my book and indexed it with speed and precision. If it’s at all possible, I will never use another indexer other than Savage Indexing."
Alfred L. Martin, Jr.
The Generic Closet: Black Gayness and the Black-Cast Sitcom
"It was such a pleasure to work with Cynthia on my index with University of California Press. She turned an arduous process into one where I had full faith in her diligence, speed, accuracy and professionalism. I highly recommend Cynthia for any author who seeks an expert Indexer!"
Susan L. Miller
Journeys: Resilience and Growth for Survivors of Intimate Partner Abuse
"My coauthor and I were first-time book authors with a mandate to construct an index and no earthly idea how to go about it. We were fortunate to retain the services of Cynthia Savage. Cynthia formed a very detailed index in prompt fashion at what we take to be a quite reasonable cost, and she was flexible enough to accommodate a two-to three-week delay on the publisher’s end in delivering the page proofs. She also caught some small errors that we might well have overlooked. We were very pleased with Cynthia’s work, and should we manage to turn out our second book, we would hope to engage her again."
Robert E. Worden and Sarah J. McLean
Mirage of Police Reform
"Cynthia did an amazing job indexing Why Busing Failed and Making Roots. She is professional, punctual, and has a great attention to detail. She understands the books' themes and arguments and her work makes my books easier for readers to navigate. I will definitely work with her on future projects!"
Matthew F. Delmont
